    My 40 Gallon Reef

    OceanLover, You're welcome. I'm glad that it was of help to you. I know when I go and surf the different boards, I always like to know what I am looking at just in case I want to get a frag of whatever it is I am looking at later. Also, thanks for the kind remarks! It took me over a year to get...

    My 40 Gallon Reef

    Joy, I use the 36" Nova Extreme T-5 HO fixture from Current (156 watts). It has 2 10K and 2 420nm bulbs along with 3 white lunar lights. It has been a great fixture, and I have been very pleased with it's performance. My only complaint is that it does not have individual reflectors for the...

    My 40 Gallon Reef

    mopar9012, Thanks! I tried to keep it as natural looking as I could with the limited space that I have to work with. It's always a "work-in-progress" with the aquascaping...

    Feeding Fishes

    I feed my tank once every other day a combination of Marine Cuisine and Formula One. Every once in a while I add fresh brine shrimp just to change it up a little.

    LFS in Houston

    I live over here in Angleton which is about 45 miles south of Houston. I would agree that Aquarium World is a great store to visit, but their prices are sky high. Their LR prices are not too bad if I remember correctly. I think that I recall that LR sold for right around $5 lb. If you do happen...
