Gorgeous! :cheer: Truly a work of art!
If you ever come out to the Phoenix area, could you please come over and re-do my tank, then sign the masterpiece in the bottom corner, like the artist that you are!

Which moonlights are you using, stock? Blue and white??

very nice rics.....I love rics
thanks! we sure do love our rics! :) the moonlights come with blue and white LED's. The white LED's make the tank a lot brighter, so I'm able to take some pretty good shots.

thanks! yeah it's the 70 watts... personaly I love it. i don't plan on keeping any SPS. I'm going to get some clams and maybe and anemone, so the 70 watt is just right for me... plus my low light corals wouldn't like that much light.

Ya i'm not sure if my stock lights will work that great.. but we can always upgrade.. but i see the moom lights arn't that much.. but arn' they good for night time movement among the fish and other critters in your tank

They are more for looks. each LED=1 watt of light. You can also see what other critters crawl out of your live rock more easily! if you buy an all in one system, like the biocube or quapod then the moonlights will come already built into the hood.

ya i can't realy get the biocube or quapod here in halifax as our stores don't sell them... so i think we will just stick to a 29 G tank for now.. comes with everything for $120.. LFS says good way to start... So we are really thinking hard on this but it might just happen this week..

do most true perculas have that much black on them? i love the look of urs and was debating between getting either a false perc or a true perc. how long have u had them, were they captive bred? also u have 3 fish in what i believe is a 14 gallon correct...... i have a sixline wrasse right now and wanted to get a clown and a yellow watchman or some other kind of goby, do u think this would work in a 12 gallon???? sorry bout all the ?'s but i belive that you are one of the best ppl here to ask.
AMAZING TANK!!!!!!!

My LFS gets the true percs in a lot, so I was able to pick out some nice ones. I like the ones that have more black... some have less and some have more. true percs are always from the wild and aren't as hardy as a tank raised perc... true percs also cost more. I bought mine separately for $25 each. I have had one for about 4 months and they other I thin it's been 3 months.
Yes, I have 3 fish. since you are going to get a clown... maybe you can add a really small shrimp goby, but you want to be careful because a sixline can be mean to smaller fish.
