Yeah, that was the strip light that came with the Marineland tank package. I just used it for cycling as it was not a reef light. Then It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to go with and save up for them.

I love them too. They started on a piece of live rock that I had in my sump. There wasn't anything that would prey on them or the copepods that were multiplying in the sump. Eventually they just became so numerous that spores (or whatever they do to reproduce) transferred into the display. They often grow in the cheato in the display so they are still pretty safe from pickers like my dwarf angel.
