Bro, sorry that i didn't update, i had moved back to 2x 150W MH (20k) with 2x Actinic FL + moonlight (AquaSunlight) when some clams died on me (i dun know if it were the lights but i was very sad).... i am still thinking of changing the 2x FL to T5 actinic when i get into DIY mood..... :P

The previous 2ft T5 sits on a DIY'ed hood on top of my 3 feet tank, as the tank is not rectangle(got 2 corner sliced 45 deg), i mounted the 4x T5 on the rectangle area only...... :fear:

it was you who spotted and pick up frags when all the other buyers choose to ignore them.....kudos to you for 'blooming' them.... :lol:

Thank u bro, many times i prefer to start from frags.....seeing them grow, color up and encrust i believe is the greatest satisfaction any reefer will want to enjoy..... :angel:

:lol: i see i see...... u certainly like the bluish/purplish look dun u? judging by the color temp of the bulbs that u hv went for (T5s & MHs alike). ;) sps color up even more oso, surprisingly ur sps growth is quite substantial....... (taking only color temp, PAR of bulbs into consideration only) :yeah:

keep those gorgeous pics coming bro. :D
