thats good. see i want to make them this time because it will cost me less and i no they work!... there good for plants reef tanks and fresh water tanks its rily cool man some are all most like a metal halide lighting rily strong but low cost!..=]
Your Wellcome... that is great ya same here like about half my stuff on all my tanks are DIY as well.. hey have you ever wanted to make your own lights you should try to i am thinking of making my own out of LED lights it is a far lower cost in electric consumption i got my self some but they cost a lot but the good thing is that they well last me about 17 yr =]
@CandyFishRave Thanks for your kind comment! I have 2 one foot long 10 watt plant/tank fluorescent tube bulbs and 2 6 watt 6500K day light compact fluorescent light bulbs over the display tank. I have one of the 6 watt bulbs over the refugium tank. I want to get a lot of light with low electric consumption and low bulb and fixture cost. Everything about this tank (all of my fish tanks) is DIY.
I bet brandons right on the nose with it being Goniopora. Newyorksteelo had something that looked like the brown one he called it a "Potato Coral" The bule one on the end looks like a type of brain coral/acan
perhaps among the top 5 most challenging of corals to keep long term. the fact you are using real ocean sand, rock and water equals the playing field, its got suspended items for sustenance we can't produce in new, synthetic systems.
Frags are becoming popular for sale and the advent of diverse feeding sources and lighting approaches is making them more common in synthetic setups.
The coral had a hard round base when you picked it up?
@brandon429 Thanks for your quick reply Brandon! "The coral had a hard round base when you picked it up?" Yeah I guess so. As I was swimming by it caught my eye. All I had to do was reach down and pick it up. It's (the stone) about 6 inches round and 1 and a half inch thick.

I am nearly certain its genus is goniopora
