Meowzer - The light is about an inch bigger then my tank so it wont fall in unless someone bumps into it, but no one real comes in my room except me. It'll be like that for a short time anyways.
So I'll need to have a fan running all the time on it? Is it the mounted one? Or the fixture?

If it is the swing arm one that I'm seeing all these pictures of, I can even hook it onto my HOB fuge so it'll be even higher off the surface.

The Caulpera Racemosa seems to be bleaching, does that mean it wasnt getting enough light? It wasnt directly under the fuge light. Also there isnt any LR for it to attach to, right now its just floating i nthe fuge. Any tips?
The SPS seem to be doing fine!

Lights look perdy, but they are pretty high off the 10g. So I guess the light wont be that extreem for the low light corals.
Also,,,, OUCH I just touched the bottom glass of the light and burnt my finger lol! Deffinatly stronger then pc's

I will get some pictures tomorrow, borrowing my g.fs camera.
Kind of broke the arm so I had to contact cement it, then epoxy then taped the hell out of it! Cant seem to find a place that sells replacement arms.

Dont know my own strength and bent the arm in a way it wasnt ment to be bend haha... epoxy, cement glue, and some hockey tape did the trick untill I can find where to buy a replacement arm! lol
So I was taking pictures of the tank, and my g.f's camera just doesnt seem to do it anymore! The pictures look so much crappier then how the tank looks in real life (N).
I'll post them when I give the camera back to her.
Keep in mind the tank looks X100000000000 better in real life lol. All the corals seem to like the new lights, since the colours are becoming more vivid. Example, the green shrooms on the sand bed are acctually green now, and not brown with a TINT of green lol.
