The coloration on that thing is just stunning. I couldn’t imagine buying something like that and with my luck killing it shortly after.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. My rock is even struggling! :D

Very nice! The new ones look happy, especially those Duncans!

Thanks, it ended up being a great colony, it paid off sticking around the coral show until closing time. ;)
Hopefully my little issue clears up in my tank soon so I can get them going! My wife is loving all of them in hers at the moment. I want to get the encrusted montis growing, then a plate like @Flippers4pups and hope it turns out 1/2 as nice!

Wow. I hope I can get pics like that someday.

So I'm looking for some feedback. I mentioned needing more light/s and had some great reponses, but money talks. I am looking to supplement the 2 Al hydra 26's that are currently in the tank. I found some used 48" current orbit IC pro with mounts for a good price. I have read the reviews and the are ok, not great but ok. But they might be good enough to cover the dark corners and add more to the front and back of the tank if I place one forward of the hydras and one aft towards the back of the tank. Anyone use these lights or seen these lights in action? Would you recommend these lights or walk away?

I would recommend T5 for supplement over the Orbits.

Uhgg...I was trying to stay on the cheap.
Trying to sock back some for an Apex in the future

I have also been eyeing the hybrids you pointed out some time ago

 

[Fudsey]

Once I added the Aquatic Life hybrid, the coralline in my tank took off. And it fills in all the dark corners completely. You could go the cheaper way and get a couple of the 2 bulb fixtures to better suit your tank too. Like a 4 ft for the back and a 3 ft for the front.

Hey @Katrina71, I finally figured out where my Solorensis sleeps when I watched him swim into his condo, it looks like he took the penthouse suite. Checked this morning and he was still kicked back. Lights are still off so the pic isn't great.

 

[Katrina71]

Cute! Only the best will do

Happy Saturday! Haven't updated for awhile. Sadly my 2nd CBB didn't survive so I'm done trying. But, I did add some new additions over the last several weeks. A Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon meleagris), Exquisite Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus Exquisitus), a tiger goby with a tiger pistol. The Dino battle is over and everything is getting back to normal. Water tests in all 3 tanks tonight and coral transfer from the wife's tank to mine tomorrow. Have a great day!

 

[Scurvy]

Bummer about the CBB but you’re not alone there. Nice additions otherwise!

 

[Flippers4pups]

Yep, bummer on the CBB. They can be tough to keep.

How's the leopard eating?

Eating good really good so far, it is allot slower then the others. Really a calm and peaceful fish. They all get a mixture of lrs, mysis, emerald entree and pellets everyday. It's usually a frenzy when I feed, I can see it eat but I can't pinpoint exactly what it's going after.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm sorry you lost your little guy. I must admit, the leopard is gorgeous.
