mounts with yoyo's and crazy CRAZY white guy
mounting cables were a tad too long for my purposes, so had to tie them up
S-clip to secure LEDs to yoyo's. The LEDs came with carabeaners (sp) and Lowes sells stuff in sets of 6 (I needed 8) so I ended up using the carabeaners on one set
Mounted 8020 to the wall using 75lbs anchors, figured overkill is the norm so I used 2 per

Now the good stuff
2x400w MH 14000K Hamilton bulbs FTS
Kinda a bad pic, maybe I'll take another one later, 2x240w 20000K LEDs whites and blues on
Whites and Blues w/flash
Just blues, I can't figure out how to get the sweet oranges and red to show up in the pics, they just look blue. Also there is a blue hue to all the LED pics. I don't know how to make it go away, maybe its because I have a $50 point and shoot?

Finally figured out the white setting on the camera, whatcha think?
One of Andy's baby's
DBTC Flames (I'm fragging soon)
Acans I got from Alex
One of the lobos I'm selling
One of the acan from MTS, very sweet, the green doesn't show up though (DBTC frags healing in the background)
Unknown chalices, still like them

I'll work on the FTS.
Since I'm not moving until at least May, then possible sell off so keep your eye on something you like, I've decided to go ahead with my fish additions. I'm also sticking with the fish addition order I planned on, post #20 I think. I've skipped a few, but oh well. I've heard/read people are keeping 3-4 wrasses in a 60gal, I'm going to try 5-6 wrasses in my 120. Here's some of the wrasses I've been looking at: Condei Fairy, emerald, exquisite fairy, filament flasher, any color coris, labouti, lineatus, McCosker flasher, meranarus, rhomboid, Scott's, and the six line. I added a foxface in October, am I good to add another so soon, as in this month? Also should I add a few at a time, or just one? I'm ok with waiting it out for awhile as I'd rather let the baby percs grow out. But I figure its ok to start looking at start researching/dreaming. So far I have 3xgreen chromis, 2xpercs, 1 mandarin, 1 foxface.

Ended up getting a melanarus from Josh. He only dove into the sand for the first night, the next day he was out and about like if he owns the place, jeez. Anyways, I was hoping for ideas on what to do next. I have a fish list that I'm sticking too, so I got the livestock out of the way. I have enough frags to last me a while, and I'm excited to have them grow into colonies. The only other things I could think are maybe a variety of reactors: Calcium, phosban, and I don't know what else. Any ideas on what to do next?
