I belive the brighter the color the closer to the top it needs to be, I could be wrong here.

Becky- I really like those duster cluster. If you dont mind me asking, about how much did they cost?

I have seen online that I can get a large cluster for around 50$.

Nice tanks Becky!! When are you setting up your 55? Are you going to put these two tanks in one or run three?

I would look at the Current Nova Extreme Pro instead.The Nova extreme does not have the individual reflectors.Are you looking at the 4 bulb or 6 bulb systems?

Tanks a lot for your good advice Becky! Now I'll ask about mushrooms which I heard definitely like less light and flow.

Pretty much. Start them out at the bottom, give them a few days to see how much they open up. I have some that like more light and flow than others. In general, they like a little less...pretty much assume that you don't have to place them at the very top of your tank.

You gotta watch out for that Star Wars phase. My 4 yr old has a thing about those movies and then he has a thing about Legos...combined together it's quite lethal. Chases me around with catalogs all day. I ought to take a picture of his room.

Check this crap out. These promo flicks crack me up.

LEGO.com Star Wars Movie
LOL
He would spaz if he saw that movie!
I think my parents will enjoy my tank when they finally see fish. Last time they saw it was just a bunch of rock and plumbing.
I can't wait to get some more fish and add a few soft corals like your pics!
