update:
the transition to metal halides is almost complete! i picked up two lumen bright 3 se reflectors from bmc the other day, i am picking up three reeflux 12k 250watt se bulbs from lunardds either this evening or tomorrow morning, and my ballasts arrived today (either two or three...i ordered two one day and one the following day, so the other may or may not come tomorrow). i've got to place my order in the next couple days for my last reflector, so by the end of this week or beginning of next i should have my lights complete.
i may or may not be moving. i don't want to divulge too much info now because it may not happen. but if it does happen, i'll update. whether or not i move though, the tank is being broken down and redone. i am going to remove some fish and corals that are no longer appealing to me and redo the rockwork. when i set everything back up, i will focus more on the rarer sps. i plan to go all ora/le/fancy schmancy sps because they are all gorgeous. i might also try more lps this time around. i would love to get my hands on a nice scoly or acan colony. but, we'll see how it goes.
