    is he bleached? or is that just the angle? besides that he looks like a beaut! my LTA was bleached when i got it and is now starting to get some red highlights in it.

    Please dont think that just because he has took foothold there that he will positively stay there....its best practice to shut your powerheads off for like 3 days after u get him to anchor himself somewhere...turn on your powerheads one at a time on day 3 with at least a day in between each powerhead turning on...that way he can get used to the flow slowly and watch him to make sure he doesnt want to move because of the flow each day...that way you eliminate some of the risk of him taking a move at night and finding him in a powerhead.
