lol yeah. its still alive, but hasn't opened. I figure itll be a week or so before I know how well its doing. I don't expect it to make it but im going to try. im thinking I can take 3 of the 4 lenses off this light and lower it where the one with the lens is right over the acro and the three without lenses are over the rest of the tank. maybe then I can give the acro enough light without burning the rest of the coral. I do know I need to pull all this rock rubble out and bust it up. its too big.

Lol, I think that's how we all think on here. I was at my sisters once and something came on TV, and a guy had 8 aquariums in his house. And he wanted another built. I said that'll be me one day. I want a reef tank, a discus tank, frag tank, etc. Lol

 

[Dtackett]

I remember if having four corners of tanks. Like a hallway intersection leading to the living room. Like two marine and two freshwater. Like 1000 gallon cubes. Dreams....
