Reedman.

Thanks for letting me borrow your bulbs...
Well, the 1 year old XM bulbs blows my new 1 month ushio bulb away.... you need to wear shades for these bulbs... and for the other brand of bulb... its also brighter than my ushio but more yellowish/reddish color to it.

Special thanks to Brad and Ilham for the frags...I'll post some pictures when I get my camera back.

John (Jlehigh). I really like what you did with your tank... specially the small kinda table in front of the tank.... like a bar or something... Also... if you want to change that SE bulb 20k of yours. I have a spare XM 10K bulb here that is 2-3 months old. Let me know if you want it then maybe we can agree on a price or something.

Pics

Well, here's my amateur photography from the tour. I missed Ilhams place and I can't get a picture of Dang's tank to turn out so maybe someone else will post them. And I forget to get pics of John's tank becuase he lives near me and let's me come over and put fingerprints on his glass anytime I want

Here's Aaron's & Donovan's tanks.

Gabriela, it is good to know you in person... very glad...

 

[bradreef]

It was a great tour and thanks to everyone involved this year. I still cant beleive that tank was that big. I was expecting 400 gallons or so.

Thanks Cesar, I actually have a 10K XM bulb. I traded between he two and could never make up my mind but I ended up choosing the 20K until the other Luminarcs are done.

Then we have Donovan's Monster FO tank and jlehigh's SPS tank, sorry John I didn't get a good over all shot but I did get some good shots of individual SPS. I did get some pretty good half tank shots but they are so saturated with great color that i can't get them small enough to post

 

[DisturbedReefer]

Next we were off to Jesseb's natural lighting tank and then the infamous Dang's SPS tank...I took tons of pictures of Dangs tank. Dang if you are interested I can make you a disc of all the shots I took of your tank and bring it when I come back for some goodies Here are a few of my favorite shots of Dang's beauties
