Lookin' good. Nice shrimp!

 

[fishfiend]

so far the cb shrimp and the cleaner seem to be getting along well..
and as for the lights, i have:
Two 96 watt 10,000K and two 96 watt True Actinic 03 Blue square pin base compact fluorescent lamps
Four 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps.
everything here is self-funded

Two 96 watt 10,000K and two 96 watt True Actinic 03 Blue square pin base compact fluorescent lamps
Four 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps
