That 100 mm macro is nice! I'm still tossing around a possible upgrade from my 60 mm macro to a 100 as well.

It's time buddy. Don't deny yourself :lol: Although you take better pix than me with your eyes closed, so what do I know. I thought Nikon only makes a 105mm, no???

Chris, that's Tyree's AE Orion's Maze. It's something I've own for over 2 years. Similar to the Psychedelic but with much bigger corallites and eyes. If I didn't try to kill it a couple time with tank crashes, it would be the size of a dinner plate by now :lol: This thing is tough as nail.

Hmm, it looks identical to my psychedelic. I guess I need to look at both pictures side by side and see which one I have. Or maybe I'll go by the price, whichever one sells for me, then that's the one I have. :lol:

LOL Chris. If you got yours a while back, then it's the Psychedelic. Mine just got released last month. I haven't sold or traded a frag of it until then. Like I said, the biggest difference is the size of the eyes and the colors in it.

You are correct, sir, yes! I would ask my wife for that to be my Xmas present except for the fact that I've already gotten my Xmas present from her ...

Tell her it's an advance present for next year's Christmas. That way, at least you'll get to play with it sooner :lol: I always tell my wife, why delay the gratification of having something and enjoying it now because we'll end up buying it eventually. Might as well enjoy it longer. It works some of the times, depending on how you ask

Got the good side.........

Changed out and testing couple of different pendants on the tank. The 2 on the left are LumenBright Minis and the one on the right is the LumenMax Elite. All are running Radium 20K's. These are so much brighter than the old LumenMax 3's it's not even funny. I wished I had decided on the change out sooner. Still undecided on which one to get. The LB has better intensity all the way down to the sand but is more spotlight like. I had to raise it higher to get better coverage. The LM has better coverage but not as intense.

Kenny, I really like the elites from what I have seen. You can actually see a dim spot between the lb's. It's right about the largest branch of your tort.

Yeah, imagine when I had the LB's about 3 inches lower. There were 2 cones of light. Do you run the Elites?

No, I am still running 4 LA minis. I like their spread. When I decide to change things around, I will go with the elites.

 

[pookstreet]

Yeah, I am leaning towards the Elites also because of the better light spread. I still have to put up the 4 5' T5's so that should help with additional light lower down.

Good luck with the Bartletts. I have spent my last dollars on those fish. They are so pretty, but all 7 of mine went male over time and I know a handful of reefers that have had similar experiences; As Dr. Joshi said when he was visiting "its just a matter of time"
