Where did you get the LED's from?

That was excellent, the music was a great fit.

Looks good Matt! Love the music too!

Looks like a pretty nice unit, Matt, I'll be in the market for a setup within a month-give or take.
I'll add this one to the list-o-possibilities!
Thank you!

Thanks Hat & Monkei. I'm excited about seeing it all grow out as well. :-) I love the macroshots too Hat. That green slimer is an easy coral to take pictures of. Can't wait till the pink mille, bonsai acro and reverse sunset get going... they'll produce some stunning macro shots as well!

Very pretty lookin' corals, looking forward to seeing them all growing out!

Thanks for the reminder on that. I was looking at it earlier and thinking to myself... what was I focusing on in this pic? I was wishing it were focused on the clam/anemone depth. I'm almost always on manual focus but I switch over to auto after awhile because it hurts the back of my eyes to try to focus that hard. lol. Since it is focused dead center I'm going to assume this was auto-focus and I just wasn't careful. Now that all my corals are in my newer pics should be more mid/long range photos showing the whole tank and how things are growing in. I just can't help but shoot almost all macros on these new things though. :-)

Lots of nice pictures, Matt. In picture #4, your camera focused on the rock in the center of the shot. Aim your camera and the corals you are shooting in a group shot, press the shutter halfway to auto-focus on these, then pivot the camera up to frame the shot and take the picture.

I don't know what to tell you to do about the Torch. If it is in the lowest flow area, you can't do much more other than turn off the pumps.

Beautiful corals Matt! I love the shot of the green slimer, nice!

Nope. Wasn't able to get to the frag swap. Got it from www.thecoralshop.com and they've got plenty more.

He said he had another Derasa that I could pick from. Man am I glad I checked into it. I've never seen a color pattern like this on a Derasa Clam. I'm getting this one instead of the one above. :-)

Hahahaha. Well... they are a mated pair... and I must admit... I wouldn't mind if my clown fish sparkled in the sunlight. That would be pretty cool for a fish. Definitely not cool for a vampire though. I mean, come on... Edward - "I'm a killing machine!" Teenage girl - "AND HE'S ALL SPARKLY!!! OHHH M G!!!"

zomg.

So... flamethrower it is. The only thing I had to agree to was to let her name the clown fish... which she already knew what she would call them. They were immediately known as edward and bella... named after the eclipse movies. Ahhh!

I would get the flame thrower, honestly. LOOK at that thing! The pink color --- ever heard of coralline?

Wow good score they have some amazing stuff.wish we were neighbors............lol
good luck enjoy the frags
