Dude, I want that tricotti! I think I just changed my mind again...

Awesome fish.  

Where's the shots of the Phenochilus Star Sapphires?

I did not know the powerglo and marine glow come in a 72" bulb.  Are they (2) 48" Bulbs in each, or are they single 48's?

I have one tank in Petrified wood.  The rock is heavy as hell, but I really like that you chose to use it also.

REally nice rocks, and awesome looking fish man..
