Why are going to start with one pair and switch to the other? I guess in my mind if you want snowflakes then you should just get them so you don't have to catch the others.
I am going back to ireland for 3 weeks in the summer and dont want to buy a pair of fancy clowns bullet hole or black ice clowns. As they are so expensive in norway i dont want to risk paying so much and losing them when away. I will buy a cheap pair just to have a fish to look at finally and also they are much tougher.450 dollars for a fancy pair and 65 dollars for a normal pair .Why are going to start with one pair and switch to the other?

Well hopefully it will clear customs soon, i cant wait to see what you think of it
So i set about installing the new lighting in my hood today. Radion xr 15 w pro.
Have wired the fans in the hood on the timer that was used for the lights so they come on when the light comes on.
I used velcro tape and some plastic blocks to hold the unit in place and completely striped out the hood. Used the cover that was over the old t5s for evaporation and protection.
Need to have a look at all the setting tomorrow and figure out what is best have it on acclimatasion mode now starting at 30% going to 50 % over the next 4 weeks and will decide if i shall raise it more then.
I had to take the light out again lol. I forggot to put the 120 degree lens on but all is sorted now
Lights working great have not had a chance to play around with the setting they are on 40% aclimat mode for now and all the coral seem to be loving them. I got me a serpant star this weekend and a boxer shrimp.

Looking good Desmond, the GSP is superb, i have one, it started as a frag 4 months on and it has covered the whole rock, i love it, i see what you mean re the lens, mine siad the exact opposite.
I am glad you like the Radion, when i manage to create a good schedule i will share it with you.
Just bought a Magnificent Foxface should have him in the tank by Friday afternoon, i will post a few pics when he settles in.

Very nice lovely fish that is. I moved a coral or 2 last night to make space on the right hand side of the tank. Going to move the toadstool down a bit and use up section for sps and then have all LPS to the right. Yes i love the green star polyps even if others think it is a weed lol

Great work with the lighting install. How are you finding the spread of light with the 120 degree optics?
The Radion I am busy installing into my hood currently has the TIR lenses on. Wondering if I should switch back to the originals. Difficult to tell for me as the tank has not been set up yet...
