Oh yeah, picked up a 48" all blue Reef Brite strip for the tank - makes the tank look like a black light poster! It is not very noticeable with the plasmas at full bore, but we bought it to show off the colors when folks come over to see the tank. I'll try and get some pics this weekend.
A couple people have asked about the coverage with the plasmas. This pic is with the lights at about 35%, with only the left side on. From the center of the light to the left side of the tank is 28 inches...

And this one just because I like my Scolies...

After the BAR swap I went by to check out Neptune's (What a great shop! Another reason I miss living in the Bay Area)- Robert had a 48" Reefbrite all blue...so we added some blue. Just running them in the evenings and for visitors to add some pop. Using the Sony pocket cam we get this horrid over saturated shot, but you get the idea:

I love the way your corals look under those plasmas. I like your new tank also. Mangroves are sweet! You should throw some macro algaes in there. I'm a big advocate of macros :wink:

Your tank is beautiful! Can acan lords be very close to each other without hurting each other? I know acan echinatas and acan lords don't get along. What has been your experience? Where did you get that assesor? He is very cool!

My lords get along just fine - Acan echinatas don't play well with anyone, I made mine stand in the corner to make it behave! The Assesor is from ORA's first re-release of these. I wish I had been able to buy five of them! Love that fish, great personality and getting very pretty.

Love those lights. How's the growth?

Thanks, I am still a big plasma fan after five months...

You can see pics of the same A. millipora frag when it was placed in the tank to present one post up...that is pretty much representative of the growth I am seeing in SPS.

Some growth shot comparison, some of the pieces have been moved and the different shots are from different angles, but I wanted to try and show how things are progressing under the plasmas.
Hawkins first is from 5/27 second from yesterday
