Thank you all for the kind words.

Thanks again. I use Mogul 250w Radium's with HQI ballasts in Lumenbright Reflectors and no actintics. I was running VHO's for suplemental actintic but with the Radiums I find I don't need them so I took them out.

with the biocube HQI would i be able to get any type of sps corals?

You can keep pretty much anything with that HQI biocube but do all the research you can first. I have learned that it takes more then just good lights to keep sps happy......I wouldn't recommend jumping right into sps. Start with some zoos and softies maybe some lps and when you feel ready get into the sps.

Great shots Nick

I dont mind at all but I know you want the DSLR settings and I am using a P&S Canon G10. I use an extension tube and macro lenses from E bay $20 I did have to play around with the settings on the camera for like a year before I could get good tank pics but now I love this thing.
I am still jealous of your D90 Bijan. I think it was a D90 right?
One day...............

I would definately recommend all of these. Especially the Purple Monster and Pearlberry, and Red Planet and...Nevermind, I could go all day with this one....

I would love to give a full tank shot. The only thing is that I have had a problem ridding my tank of some aptaisia and after 2 copperband butterflies wouldn't touch it I decided to put a bristletail Filefish in there so I had to put all the LPS and zoos into the frag tank and I feel its not a good representation of the tank right now. When he does his job I will put all the lps back in and give you all a nice FTS.
