The Orange Cap on the right appears to be in trouble.

 

[jaustin]

If that orange cap is like mine the white in the edge is new growth, not bleaching.

 

[dannybradley]

That thing is going to be a coraline monster in a year. Awesome growth for 2 months. I would try to make the rock structure less Flinstones, though. Those flat peices are just too hard to work with.

 

[patrick214]

Lol, yea the rock looked alot better till I had a huge hitchiker crab that ate a linckia and I had to destroy the aquascaping to get him. It's kinda hard to put together because I can't see where im putting the rock from up on top of the tank.

 

[dannybradley]

My friend and I did the Aquascaping in the 700 gallon at Luckie's on Luckie street across from the GA aquarium. That tank is on like a 5' tall stand and the tank is 3' deep!

Trust me, I know your pain. Once a client's house is done being built, I get to work out the rock work in a tank that's 4' x 3' x 5' (LxWxH).

Do you think I could get a good deal for the retrofit I have? I mean it is a $1,000 fixture, it's only two months old, and i even have brand new 10K replacement bulbs cause I went with 14k. Do you think thats a better route than just upgrading to 250's and or replacing the actinics with T-5's? If so, what fixture would you recommend as a replacement? I like the idea of MH and T5 but have no experience with the performance of any of these. Sorry for all the questions man but seeing as you put my tank together I figured you could really help me out.....Also when is the club meeting next? I tried to pay for the membership but i accidentally did it under my dads account So i assume it wont be a problem if I come..Ill be paying soon enough.
