Great pics Ace! looking forward to solar tube data!!!

[SABOB]

Can't wait to see what happens with the Solar Tubes.How does using these tubes differ from direct sunlight that everyone blames for algae growth?

[apedroza]

Still looks great Ace!!!

[hobogato]

thanks all, cant wait to see how things change.....

[profntbtr]

[princer7]

Hey, that has a nice ring to it! :bigsmile:

His corals are even more stunning in person. Sometimes a camara just doesn't capture the beauty the way the human eye experiences it. The natural lighting has me wondering how to cut a hole in my roof now.
