Shilala - What LED's did you go with ? Also my pulsing xenia are splitting again - want a piece ?
Speaking of which, those corals are something else. When I first got mine, it was a single stalk and looked healthy....This was the first coral I realized that could move ! It positioned itself about 10" from where I placed it, and split along the way. Now the 'parent' stalk is splitting in 3, and the 'child' is splitting in 1/2.

I decided against the LED's for now, Steve. I ordered a bunch of lamps. I should have at least 3 years worth of tubes now. When they're done, I'll rethink the LED thing.

I should have posted the end-all-be-all lighting tech sheet I found. It's awesome. Way more than I ever wanted to know, super concise, and a good read.
Here it is. Do yourselves a favor and torture yourselves with it a bit. It's good material.

Steve, I'd love to take you up on the Xenia. Let them get well established first, I don't want to cause you to do them in. I'm going to a ball game in Pittsburgh Friday and we'll stop at the super-awesome LFS on the way home. I'm sure they have to have some stuff I need/want. I've been dying to get down there for weeks. Let me see what they have before I bother you, okay? Thank You for the offer!!!
