GKs looking good. Starting to show more adult colors.

How old are most of them now? 4 months huh?

Really cool tank, Brian. If you ever wanna get rid of 2 or 3 of those Gold Trops, let me know.

Sweet holey rock. It's getting harder to find quality pieces.

I sold about 100 pounds last year, it was a huge mistake.

I've since purchased 4 grade A pieces and I'm sitting on it no matter what.

[TaTeR ToT]

yeah, i got these pieces from newb, i love them.
espescially the one on the right.

Brian,

After the Zoo Tour on Saturday, you can come by any time after that and get that free Juvi I got.

[TaTeR ToT]

updated FTS just for grins

[algarciajr]

looking good, I have an Ilangi with no tail like the in picture #2.

[myjohnson]

I think that fish has a tail. Might be the angle of the picture.

What light do you have on this tank Brian, still t5-6700k? I like the way it brings out the colors on those GKs.

[TaTeR ToT]

yeah, still 2x 54 t5ho 6700k
i want to upgrade to the 4x 54watt t6ho from oddysea.
i like that light alot for the price.
i love the way the 6700k brings out their color aswell, they look great under that light.

i loved the 14k metal halides, but just to much frickin heat!
it destroyed my other 75g:(

shattered the middle brace into ~12 pieces.

[TaTeR ToT]

not to mention my room was like 85 degrees with the fan goig aswell as the air on 74!
plus the water was almost 85 degrees during the time the lights were on, and then dropped drastically to 77 degrees when lights out.

so to much temp variation aswell, and not money for a temp controller.

so yeah, just decided to go with t5ho's

[TaTeR ToT]

thanks al!
yeah all the fish have tails, i caught that pic right as he was turning to escape utter doom by the biggest gk,lol
