ORA Green Birdsnest

FTS

Still have to get a few things moved around after it gets used to the light. Couple more pieces I need to pickup from JCR and it will be time to watch everything grow. Other than a few more clams and a pair of clowns, that will probably be the stocklist for awhile.

Few other pics while I was playing with the flash last week. Still tying to figure out my new camera and getting the colors to show up, but everything is MUCH better looking in person. I know we have all said it before, but I am a extreme n3wb when it comes to using the camera. I can pickout the best camera to buy, then have no time to learn to use it : - P

i like how you attached the reefbrite strips to the fixture. you got a schematic of some sort of how you did it? i'd love to do that to mine

Mojo helped me alot with attaching the reefbrites. Just used the existing bolts on the ati to avoid drilling holes in the brand new fixture. Bought a couple 1" pieces of aluminum and cut them to length, then drilled them to mount up. Not too difficult and looks great on the tank. Ill get a couple shots of the fixture over the tank tonight or tomorrow.
