John that bulb on the 150 is starting to grow on me!!! I am contemplating going to 20K when I switch out bulbs due to the fact that I am not running actinics. Trying to figure out how I can even run moonlights with the setup I have right now!

 

[Jhildebrand]

Heh, gotta figure out that white balance for pics...

It is crazy how it has changed. I don't have any of my really old pictures scanned in otherwise I could post something really horrible. these were the oldest I had. both from 93-94.


This was a 15g tank and to this day still one of my favorites. Loved all the macros I was able to find for it.:

This one was in Marine Fish Monthly for any of you old timers that remember that magazine:

My reef in about 1972

And today. I remember that magazine well, my reef was also in it but I forgot the year. I have it someplace.
