I should be moving the fishies tonight... Junior is coming over tonight and we'll figure out how to get the screen in there... I thought about the return last night and Junior said he's got an idea how to go around it... or just figure out something to get the back of the canopy screened... we'll see... the HI Flames were staring at the bigger tank last night again...

Sweet Marvin!

I can't wait to finally do my aquascaping after I figure out what corals I am going to keep.

I REALLY like the open look you have going there.

Thank you...

I just pulled the trigger for new bulbs... should be here by end of the week or early next week...

- (2) 22k AquaScience
- (2) ATI Blue +
- (1) ATI Blue Special

I already have other bulbs that are in the tank now I can experiment on along with the new bulbs... hope I can find the right combination to give me a 20k Radium look...

I plan on having this bulb combo front to back... bulbs 2-5 are OverDriven with IceCap ballast...

1. ATI Blue +
2. 22k AquaScience
3. ATI Blue Special
4. 22k AquaScience
5. ATI Blue Special
6. ATI Blue +

Tank in looking nice!

If I may make a suggestion or 2 on your bulb selection try an ATI Actinic in the first position trust me it will look sweet.

On your MSX since your using mesh trim it back flush with the disc and that should help on the startup issues and when you do get the PW push the reducer in about 2-3mm your get the best performance from it.

By the way did you mesh mod it or did it come with mesh from SWC?

Very nice Marvin. Any plans for some sticks

Thanks for the suggestions and kudos... I will look into your suggestion about the bulb... the MSX was modded when I got it secondhand... I still need to order the PW though.. just been lagging... no start up issues on it though so that's good...

Thanks for stopping by...

UPDATE -- 07-09-09: finally was able to get the fishes in there... let's just say that they are quite happy with their new home... they were all out, happy, and eating after about 30 mins in the tank... I'm hopefully gonna pick up the Rhomboid tomorrow...
