A bounce mushroom frag pretty much cost more than most people's car payment a month. Good luck finding one anywhere this mushroom is an ultra rare coral. Awesome piece Nathan.

Thanks Sahin. I am fortunate enough to have some friends with word working and video/photography skills!
Yes they are from aquavista99, the same as you I bet. Yeah, I really like those blastos, never seen ones like that before.

Ooooo, embedded. I can never figure out how to do that on RC.

I have to play with it a little bit depending on the board, but on RC, you can get the imbed code from the "share" tab in youtube. In the other message board that is censored here, there is a movie icon where you just paste the URL of the video and it imbeds it for you.

I have been thinking about adding some supplemental LED's that fill in some of the color spectrum that may be missing from my AI SOL blue LED lights. After looking at a few different routes I went with a custom http://www.buildmyled.com . They let you pick the LED colors you want for a 12" section of your light and then repeat that pattern across the whole light.
My light is 5ft and my LED selection was heavy with Violet, Cyan and Green with a few blues and reds mixed in.
The light its self was thinner in both width and height then I thought, which is great for potential mounting options.
I may mount the light at the front of my tank in the rim that was recently added and angle it towards that back, still playing with the idea.
The light intensity is also controllable via my apex controller.
Here are a few pictures of the light, the ghosting effect in the lit up picture gives you an idea of each LED color in the strip

In mounting the new LED strip, I wanted to be able to angle it and adjust it from time to time. So, I mounted the light to a 1x2 and then mounted the 1x2 to the inside of my top rim using an "L" bracket. I am able to then move the 1x2 and light up and down, allowing me to play with the angle of the light.
The light itself adds a "sea green" color to the tank. It will be a while before I really power the lights up. I am currently running them for a few hours a day at 40% to allow the corals to acclimate to the new light.
