    A little update. I got my reefcleaners snails in yesterday. Which was just in time because it was beginning to look a little rough with the algae. They are already making a HUGE difference. I have ordered new bulbs which should be in early next week. Will post some new pictures as soon as the lights are changed.

    Just an update with photos

    my clean up crew arrived on Friday and have been hard at work cleaning my rock. it seems only a few casualties.

    Got my new bulbs yesterday and i have to say the color is excellent! (Thanks for the recommendation Civic).

    The white rock on the left was the same as the one above it but the snails have scrubbed that one clean and working their way across.

    I finally got a decent picture of who my son is now calling Marlin and Coral.

    The picture doesn't really do the lighting any justice but there is no yellow in the light at all anymore.

    And again with these two mischief makers hiding.

    So a little snafu this morning when i woke up. I have a 35g drum with my ro/di in it for top off, the hose going into the tankapparently fell out of the sump, or i didn't put it back correctly during my WC yesterday:confused:, and emptied all my rodi water onto my floor. Thank god for a drain in the basement!
