less than Ideal. but it'll hold the corals over until a new bulb arrives.... yes thats a 2x 250W mogul sitting on top of another light for my other tank with only one bulb running.... at least the bulb is the color temp I wanted.

something just broke....

yep so the headache went full on migraine again wound up in the hospital, again. they gave me a shot now its just a headache again. I really can't take much more of this headache crap. you'd think that high power stuff they shot me up with would squelch it for at least a couple hours....

bulbs dead... crap... so much for buying a cheap bulb. called amazon got a refund ordered a new bulb form a different company hopefully that knows how to ship light bulbs, paid extra for expidited shipping. FML

only when something breaks or it over flows, other than that my tanks are my zen.

if you find anything good make sure you post pictures.

that reminds me I need to grab a new calcium test kit mine a little bit out of date. but seachem kits are usually fairly reliable beyond their dates if they are stored right.

there are a couple really nice brittle stars I have been watching at my LFS for a couple weeks, I want to see them survive more than month before I purchase them so I know they arent coming home with osmotic damage already.

yeah I'm pretty confident most of them will a couple I don't have much hope for, but I would guess about 7 or more out of the group will live. since the tank parameters are in my range of what i consider perfect for growth. The only iffy part is the tank is younger than I generally start adding...

Apparently the bulb cannot handle its own heat, in a vented but not fan cooled housing. It kept kicking out every couple hours then firing back up after it cooled (which of course sucks for the burn in time on the bulb supposed to keep switching to a minimum for the first 100 hours. turning on...

not yet beth.

I have to snag some nass. and a couple astrea soon and the rest of the CUC for my tank. like brittle stars etc. General stocking stuff is never as fun as the gems is it eric

It waxes and wanes. goes from minor to migraine with tears coming out of the eyes. Every doctor I see seems to want to push me off onto some one else for consultation (I guess thats a drawback of having decent insurance they can get them and their friends paid) or maybe i'm just cynical.

oh and they are all showing some polyp extension! I'll take it.

The second photo that I thought was an encrusting montipora definitely isnt, there are sweeper tentacles coming out of the polyps.... hmmmm

I have to figure out my camera setting, auto mode is annoying some look perfect and some everything looks brown tinted. been a long time since I tried to shoot under halides, and never before with this camera.

I don't know beth. But I am not a fan of those types of medications. If i'm not in complete agony I would rather not take them. Maybe he thinks a narcotic might exacerbate whatever the problem is. Getting a direct answer out of some one thats only seen me once for 5 minutes (my normal provider...

now i'm gonna go try to sleep for a bit before my next dr appointment

on the bright side the pain in my left side is minimal today even though the headache is ungodly. I'm not as short of breath today either, still exhausted and lethargic but maybe 3 days of quitting smoking is beginning to help.

oops I missed the healthiest one there is a piece of digitata i'll brb with a picture of that you know I was joking when I said healthiest right? flesh on it but totally bleached the acro figured since I was there I would snap a shot, totally dead but the polyp holes look dark so it has about...
