Ah okay, I'm used to them having a brighter body than that. How does he behave for a reef? I considered getting a bluethroat for a while, but let my LFS talk me out of it.

These photos were with t5 and sunlight, which there wasn't much of as it was nearing the evening when taken.

Well it looks very nice. I've been thinking of doing this for years never even heard of someone doing it. Do you think you can post anything about how you did it? If not is it those sunlight glass tubes that are domed shaped on the roof

Hey Stripes - How'd your tank go with the recent floods?
Are you in the path of Yasi?
