they are so bright that when i tried to shoot some basic photos today it makes my sand glow and gives my photos a fuzzy look, infocused,LOL

 

[nanocube-guy]

Wow its really bright.

also can anyone tell me what type anenome this is... he is pale green but i bought him he was like 3 inches wide and with 24 hours he woke up in our tank and is atleast 10-12 inches wide his mouth is about size of quarter when fully open,CRAZY HUGE!

Looks like a huge BTA...or is that too obvious?? If it's not then I'm not sure heh

 

[eldiablosrt8]

I was thinking bta too.... it is enormous considering it was baseball size at store

 

[bluevoodoo]

Man Jess,

The lights look grate. I'll have to go over and check them out.

 

[iCon]

If it won't split (and you want it to) you can always force it by cutting it in half. With one of that size, probably 1/4s would even be ok. BTAs are pretty resilient when cut from what I've read. There's a good post on here about that

I did a RB installation last week, the tank has a M. aquitaburculata that's the size of a dinner plate, it absolutely screams green now.

 

[eldiablosrt8]

I love the reef brite..... I am thinking of just letting the bta grow but damn he is huge

If you cut that BTA, I would suggest doing it in half and not quarters. I think it will be less traumatic for the anemone. If you are interested in manually propping the BTAs, I wrote up an article in this month's Reef Hobbyist Magazine on my experience with cutting them.

i will post later, my son is sick as a dog......

i used black eggcrate from carson and some algae magnets... just a simple DIY

egg crate= trip to carson's
magnets= 32$

3 frag racks that can hold a ton of frags now priceless( or 32$)

 

[GreshamH]

cool, even better, mag mounted

Sorry to hear about your kid, hope he feels better.

@ Tony
:lol:

 

[eldiablosrt8]

thanks.....

i think mag mounted is much easier for clean up, and i can remove it in seconds with only one hand in the water

 

[Coral reefer]

Yeah but what did that trip to carsons REALLY cost you?

 

[iani]

You guys, he spells him name Karson.

 

[eldiablosrt8]

OK karson's cost me some kalk.... I went on my way when I had plans so I couldn't buy anything. So smart of me LOL
