LITTLE URCHING: :oops: stop already well keep the complements coming lol thx glad you like that much my tank im doing my best to keep it as good as everyone else tanks!!

STEVEN: well no the MH is not running i did a bad step on the MH and i burn my zoas and they look really bad and i lost all my blues and some red zoas but well i updated to 4x24w and all the remaining zoas that were burn recover their true color cause all were brown even the Eagle Eyes but now everyone is the same as before and even more neon light color everyone is looking great but not good enough so im upgrading to MH again but with more planing ahead and more careful plans with a guy helping me to put my MH in my hood and alot of ventilation you can see in the link below what we gonna do to my hood..

i lucked out because that pic was taken before i took down the 5.5 now everything is so spread out in my 20 L that it wouldnt have been possible...

and dont feel bad about the crisp-ness of the picture because i took something like 400 to get that one that i liked... then i corrected the colors to match what it looks like in person and cropped the section that looked best...

Really WOW i thought no photoshop :lol: anyways i didnt do any photoshop the only thing i did and i show to DJ was that i erased were the light reflected just had to crop like you that was it no color change of any kind even that colors dont look the same as in person believe me they look better but even what you did i love your pic alot ....

great pics of the MH hood and all those fans, wow. I think that would be tight under my 6er. Haven't been too fond of the realux lights PC's I'm using. They seem to go after 8 months or so, being run 8 hours a day. :(

So who knows, maybe I'll upgrade to a 20 gallon :)

What you mean about that steven... not finding your PC?? and well if talking on the relux actinic bulbs did you try TONGS?? i got mine there cause nanotuners.com didnt have them and well we all know that PC need to be change every 6-8months steven so dont spect that much from them really so far i change mine in 6 month laps and well the MH in your hood wont look that tight why i say this look at this pic this is a 6g NC made from same reefer that is gonna help me with my hood
and well you can hardly see but there are 4 fans in each side of the hood

Ohh yeah just a pic of how my zoas growing rate so far, (if they are growing in that rate under just 4x24 i cant wait until i upgrade to MH again) not the best pic so you can get an idea, you can notice the difference just by looking the space they had between each other on the wall and how close they are now...

I spoke to the rep from JBJ, I guess the local pacific reef carries their product. I'll go there to get my pc's (power compacts) As far as the 6 gallon hood project, it looks great. Love the "cooling" factor there, let me know if it's a success or not.....I wouldn't mind going that route :)

Latest adition and well some zoas got in the pic so enjoy my zoa garden :D.

P.S: I know the Catalina Goby must be kept in a cold water tank, Although it will tolerate a tropical water temperature, (76 to 78ºF) So I put my tank to 76.2 and hitting the highest temp to be 78(when MH on) so I guess he will ok so far so good been with me a week.
