Looks like its doing very well has all the growth and color been obtained from your AI?

Looks great!

Thanx all, I have had the AI light since January of 2011. Some of the growth has come from it and some from the 150w MH light I had previously.

Hey Spank, love your shrums, they look like there aliens (blue and see threw). I see you also have a yellow tail, I have one too now, since he wanted to be alone.

Very nice tank! Out of curiosity, what temp does your tank normally run at? Also, does your Rio run quiet? I originally had it for a pump and loved the flow but it was a little loud and seemed to slightly raise my temp. Not sure if maybe I just had a defective unit. Also guessing your open top helps with the heat issue I was seeing in my closed top system. Thanks for sharing!

cool stuff man, glad to see youre still into it; tank looks good! Do you still have your watermelon chalice colony from way back in the day? I think it came from that mr x guy from SWF?

My lighting intensity chart just for reference. And by the way all of my lights are set the same, white, blue and royal blue. According to the folks at AI this should emulate a 20k metal halide.
