Here are a few threads I have done with this. I don't want to spend the time to repost the pics here, but check them out if you want.
I am also working on red dragon, tyree pink lemonade, and CC retina blaster suharsoni, I have about a year worth of pics and its starting to look good enough to post threads on. Looking forward to seeing some others, this thread should be great!!!!:tongue:

Wow mike, that's super nice! Your lighting setup really works!

MIKE NY · Nov 20, 2013

thanks!...I've tried many different light combos over the years. I really like the look and growth I'm getting from the radiums. The last few years I've been keeping more fish and feeding heavily which I think also helps with the growth....the last two pics pics were taken with a borrowed camara ...I just need to get a good one now.
