thaank you very much and stay tuned, I'm sure there will be more updates and adventures
thanks, in some ways I feel lucky, but have to admit I learned a lot from reading forums and asking questions
I'll reply to your pm's on the subject but I'd focus on a couple, super actinics, some mid blues in the 15-20k range, at least one fiji purple and some cooler whites in the 12-14k range. Stay away from anything less then 10k unless you want to use it for just a high noon effect. Like others a few years back I though you needed some 7-10k light for growth but now I'm convinced otherwise unless you want algae growth. When you think about it you only have to go down about 6 feet or so and your yellowier whites (5-10k) lights are basically non existent, that tells me most reef corals are use to, and do just fine on spectrums higher then 10k.
Thanks Feh

This was kind of cool, I had no idea one of my videos was being featured until a local reef friend posted on my build log over on DFWMAS

Each time I see a new one of your videos, I want to cry at my pathetic-ness . You are the man, seriously. A few years down the road, after saving up some cash, I am going to get you up here to help me start up a tank that can look like this!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Another great video - who needs cable TV!?
I've been wondering - what is the most difficult animal to keep that you have in your tank, and have you had any trouble with it? One more question: can you recommend any shrimp that don't really like to jump on top of every new coral they see?

Those montis are absolutely beautiful. What, please, is the first one? If you tell me, I think I'll look for one!
I love the flame angel. Perhaps you have enough polyps to choose from that he'll visit them infrequently. I've heard that they generally pick on polyps that are sliming a bit - perhaps due to not being in great condition.

The coral is just a montipora digitata (un named) maricultured from Divers Den
the flame already cruzes through the corals picking on the polyps. He wont sit there and chow down, more just tasting, but I'm seeing the corals react with less PE due to it.
