With it encrusting so much rock its going to be hard to move it in a couple weeks

Im sure Im going to have pieces all over, including the encrusted pieces on the rock. I have lots o' frags now so I will let you know when I get back ... come take a look. Im hoping to get a 180 before hand so I can set it up and add the 100 to the grow out tanks.

See the deep purple cap behind it :D

Cool, Ive been thinking about setting up a small custom acrylic frag tank, maybe 2' x 3' and like 12" deep. I already have all the equipment to do it except for the tank, I just need to get off my duff and do it!
"purple cap behind it?"
Man, with all that actinic, all I can make out is the green one!,,, lol

Yeah, Ive seen it, its pretty cool, just a little too elaborite for my liking. It doesnt adhere to the "kiss" rule in my opinion..

Thats allota blue! Ever considered supplimenting with 10k's instead of actinics? When I was running 20k's the addition of 10k's brought the tank to life!...

I did the 10K's and still have them brand new. I ran them for 2 days and thought it was too white. I might add another vho and try againg as I will be adding another MH to the 180 I want to set up.

I can see where they would be to white with 14k, they were nice with 20k, might wanna consider 50/50's? I bet that would be just about perfect!
