I am trying to determine which corals thrive the best higher in the tank and lower in the tank. I have a few "choice" locations high up in the tank that I want to reserve for the higher demanding light corals.
Thanks for the pics and info it has helped.

well the only things that i have come across are:
1) my candy canes went through a stretch where they didnt look too hot...i moved them around in the tank and they started to look better, but have a down day every so often
2) my bigger thing of zoos havent been opening up lately, i keep moving them around and havent gotten the same results as from when i first got them...im hoping stronger lighting down the road will help..
hope this helps some

was playing around with the camera tonight and thought this was a neat picture of my bicolor blenny aka squiggles (as given by my 5 year old sister!!)

hope your light is coming soon. that is a lot of coral for 24w. other than that along with some coraline algae growth this tank will be great.
I like it looks good!

k so i got the new lighting...no pics yet.
i cant believe the difference!!!!! it's unreal at how much prettier the new lights make the tank...
the bad news however, is that my tank is a bowfront and has a filter built into the back of the hood so the arrangment is kinda screwy...
i will be upgrading tanks when i get back from spring break (palm beach, fl baby!!) and will post pictures then!!

Do you have a new picture with the new lights? And by the way very nice tank. What size are you upgrading to?
