    before, with light spilling all over, and probably not much in the tank as there should be...

    These are much much nicer. I am very happy with them so far, and I have only had them on 1 light cycle.

    Thats an aesthetic improvement Horkn the tank does look brighter even on the images
    you going to start a show of your fish tank thread?
    I dont want to be asking for close ups of the corals on your build thread

    Yeah, it is a big improvement light wise.

    I could start a "show off your tank" thread, but I like the fact this build thread is 40 pages long.

    Maybe I will just start taking pics of the inhabitants in a new thread on that subforum.

    I am still overcoming cyano, but it is a ton better than it used to be. Until that gets gone, taking pics of my corals is on the back burner.

    I might go out and buy some chemiclean because it isn't going away as fast as I want it to.


    Bama, that frag rack has a small colony of yellow tipped blue birdsnest on the left, 2 kinds of pink millepora, then an ORA peach monti, a super thick mega green stag with blue tips, a frag of my purple with blue tips stag colony in the left center of my tank, some sort of ORA coral I bought that was bleached out under OD'd t5ho's, and an ORA midnight stag, and a frag of cap on the far right.

    My 5 foot t5ho stuff comes in today, but that will wait until next week. Then I wont have a 4 foot t5 setup over my 5+ foot tank.

    Those reflectors cut the light spill out down tremendously.
