Lots of new pics of old stuff, and new stuff I got at a frag swap!

So you have the 72" Outer Orbit 3x150w 10K HQI-Halide/8x39w T5HO? I wonder if my hubby would let me spend $600 more?

.....yes, I might wait to see how much that new Nova is going to be.

I'm just a little worried about my frogspawn and torch. The lady at the lfs said they would be fine under my lights (they were not under MHs in the store), but now I'm not sure. I just have two 36" Aqualight Double T-5 fixtures, so now I'm rethinking why I bought the frogspawn and torch. I knew I should have just stayed away from the frag tanks.

They seem to be doing ok, fully open and no signs of stress (that I know of). What would be the first sign that they are not doing well? (Frogspawn if almost half way up on the rocks, and the torch is over half way up.)

If your corals don't seem to want to open, just move them up higher, they should be fine for awhile.

They are opening up just fine right now, and in spot feeding them, they grab onto the mysis shrimp. So I'm taking that as a good sign.

If they do start to go south, I'm sure I can take them back to my lfs and they can hold them for me until I get my new lights. I'll keep watching, but hopefully they will be fine.
