Psssttttttt, your Frog kinda looks like a Torch.

 

[Smitty]

Damn, yeah...that's what I meant to type...thanks for catching that. I was looking at the fs when I was typing. Thanks Fast.

I figured you were moving faster than your fingers at the time. Just go back and edit it. Good thing I whispered it to ya, lol.

And a pic of the torch...

Correction made. This is my torch...not the frogspawn. :)

 

[Smitty]

[Smitty]

I can't play with my new toy today...My gf decided she wants to go out to eat and then to culver's for some ice cream. Plus I have to get some wire to hang it from the ceiling from home depot or lowes.

Ugh, why do people insist on teasing! :grumble:









lol Congrats can't wait to see it on your tank :Cheers:

 

[Bifferwine]

We are giddy too! :)

 

[Smitty]

Alright guys...I just put the light up, it looks "ok", I guess I have to get used to them, instead of the mh.

 

[Bifferwine]

You don't like them as much as the MH? I personally think they look much brighter (which is hard for me to believe) but maybe that's an artifact of the photography?

 

[Smitty]

And the actinic...

 

[Bifferwine]

Wow that looks bright as hell! How do your corals look under it? More colorful? Less?

 

[BL1]

It looks like the middle is more spot lighted now, I'm assuming it's the same height the old MH was?

Don't get me wrong...I do like it :) and it does seem brighter. One thing I do notice is that the light doesn't spread to the left and right as much as the halide, causing it to be super bright in the middle, and become darker as you left or right. That's what I have to get used to. Or else it may just be my imagination. :mrgreen:

Oh Yeah! The colors of the corals just Popped. They are much colorful.
