sorry, must be slow on the draw, how much? Do you mean how many gallons? If so, its a 180 bow front--I got it on Craigs list a while ago.
If you mean how much did I spend on the frags, can not tell you. Never know if the wife is going to be reading this. Always have to be careful about these sorts of things.

I have three 250 watt 20 k ushio single ended metal halides and two t5 actinics. I wish I had radium bulbs but my ballast won't fire them up. I have the halides on from 11am to 8 and the actinics on an extra hour on each side. I recognize that is much longer than required but that works with my schedule .
I find it wonderful to stare into the tank and could spend my day doing that happily. Unfortunately , I can't do that . Anyway the lights are on for an extended period so that if I am around , I can get a quick peek into it
I do like the ushios but everyone who has radiums seems to love them . Wished my ballast fired them so I could try and compare the difference . Always crave what you can't get, what can I tell ya.
All 20 k and actinics supplementation look blue/purple in photo . When you actually look at the tank, it obviously does not look that blue but much bluer than 10k or 14k look

got a new macro lens, 90 mm but on my camera that translates to about 135mm. took a full tank shot, but could only get about 70 % of tank. The magnification of the lens and the room size (I ran into the back wall) limited the shot. Its a 6 foot wide tank but it was fun to try even though its really a 2/3 FTS .
I have two different colonies and my other strawberry shortcake does not have much of the green , it is primarily pink/reddish and not nearly as dramatic as this colony. I have this colony up high with lots of flow blasting it. And without trying to sound like a jerk, it really is a stunner. Nice to get lucky once in a while.
Have you tested your nickel and molybdenum levels, ----just messing with you.
