    Ok so found out I was having problems with pictures due to me using Safari.  So I got Mozilla now so should be good to go now.

    Quick cell phone picture. The batteries in the camera died in the middle of the picture so photo shoot will have to wait. Hope this can tie you over.

    Funny part is its supposed to be green! Proablly one of the best colors ever, its got a strong red color and a green hue.  Mine is from the same anemone, but smaller, but mine is purple with green tips.

    Maybe a stupid question but what kind of internal pumps are you using? I saw you said something about the VorTech MP20 but whats that other one next to it (in some pics and opposite in others)??

    That's a Hydor Koralia... probably a Koralia 1? They're popular pumps due to their good flow and low cost.

    So do you recomend 2x150w MH with 2x36watt actinics or 6 t5's for a 40g breeder? You seem to be doing well with the T5's. Do you have any light limitations on what corals/clams you can have??

    I would go T5's in my opinion. I like the color you can get and if you want to manipulate the color you just change a bulb or two or even the order of them in the fixture will making things look different. If your in the market check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280466813712&ssPageName=ADME:B:FSEL:US:1123#ht_1367wt_1167 If your lucky you might be able to snag this for $200 range.
