:hammer:

Thanks again man. I'm really looking forward what you come up with, with your tank. 1smile1


as of right now, this tank will be in "cruise control". I'm testing out a few ideas about the BTA's that didn't make it for me. since I never really determined what caused them to not make it. I have a few theories that hopefully I can prove in the coming months by not doing too much with the tank so the parameters are somewhat consistent. I hope one of my theories is wrong though.

Thanks! I'm just taking my build slowly and patiently. I hope what I do works out. :) My wife is very picky!

You definitely got my interest peaked with the BTA issues... I hope you get it worked/figured out, bro!

I have owned RBTA's before and I know they can be finicky. Some folks simply can't keep them, no matter what they do; so kudos to you for your creation.

I have a buddy with a ritteri tank... man... you 'nem guys are crazy to me. :D

oh a Ritteri (Mag)... how I wish I can find a nice clone locally. even then, I think I would be scared to mix any other kind of nem along with my BTA's. but I know Rev has an awesome one with his BTA's. :)

let's just say that if my theory is right, my tank's color will change dramatically.

here's the other pics that only had 5 bulbs on (4 Blue+ & 1 Fiji Purple). in the middle of me taking pics, the 2 BlueSp turned off. LoL


BIG MAMA

BIG MAMA & BIG BOY, cuddling before lights out in their favorite spot. they're also cleaning in this area for the past few days

with ARROW, the ever so supporting young male that's been with this group for a while

Bubbly BTA's! I dunno why mine are more bubbly than some. even my big ones (8"+) are bubbly, esp when more blue lights are on.
