I really like your Current Power head. What brand is that? Do they make it for nano around 12g?

Pete - it works with the MH. I tried flipping them off today, and couldn't stand looking at my tank. So they are definitely filling a need.
NanoCube-boy - those are VorTech pumps. You could put one on your 12g, but the flow pattern is so strong with the MD-40w that I wouldn't recommend it. These can move up to 3000 gph.

wow marc that actinic pop looks crazy on camera. i know all too well that a camera is completely incapable of capturing the true brilliance of actinics, so I wish I could see it in person
Is there any camera out there designed to capture light in the actinic range?

The tank looks awesome with those new reflectors up and running! If I every get around to upgrading my tank size I'll be using the same.
Just please tell me there's some kind of stop on those hangers to keep them from sliding off and into the tank! :eek1:
Along the same vein, those wires they're hanging from look awfully wimpy. I typically spec 1/8" aircraft cable for hanging pendants. It's available in Stainless too. If your local electrical shop doesn't have some Aircraft Spruce and Specialty does.
And exactly how many buckets of food do you feed each night? :rollface:

The brackets definitely needs stops. Heck, a wedged chopstick would do the job nicely.
The wire is very tough; I've had it for years but I do think I need some type of stranded stainless steel cabling. What I had on hand was fine, but the clamps were for 3/16" (so I'm guessing my stranded was 1/8") and the wire could move back and forth even though it was clamped down completely. That was annoying. It just has to hold for a week. It just has to hold for a week...
I feed a small amount of mysis and cyclop eeze every night. If you happen to purchase food from Dominos Pizza, they will bring tiny side dish containers with jalapeños. I put a few pieces in that container and thaw it with tank water prior to feeding the tank. It has to feed the suncoral polyps, the dendro, the angled tank, and then my reef. Slightly more than this image.

Dang, I'd have though Spock alone would gobble that little bit up in a heartbeat! Maybe I'm grossly overfeeding....??

LOL! "Slightly more"? I've watched you feed double to triple that easy for years Marc. I think you may be misleading them a bit.
Are you only talking about for you angled and suncoral tanks ONLY here? Because I could believe that.
Also, you can just go to your local grocery store or liquor store and buy jello shot cups. They are exactly like what Marc uses and come with sealable tops. They are very inexpensive.

sorry for the silly question but I missed it before,
what were the old reflectors again?

Is that reading from just the MH or also from the actinics moving?
