Acan & Lobo ID??

Hoping someone can give a proper ID to these two if they have actual names. Sold as simply blue/green acan and red lobo. Acan is like a greenish teal and bluish purple, and the lobo has a red ring and almost purple around the mouth. Just want to know what I’ve got here!

Need advice on new T5/LED Hybrid from Aquatic Life

Hey folks, I have only had 2 AI Hydra 52s over my 120 mixed reef. Considering how old they are I've done pretty well with them, but it's time for some supplemental T5s. I've purchased the Aquatic Life T5/LED Hybrid (non dimmable). My question is acclimation. My current LED sched is 12 hours. How...

Dissipating Heat From Lighting In Canopies

What's the best design for a canopy that allows heat to be dissipated. My current lighting plan is to combine an Aquatic Life DX-18 with 2 or 3 LED pucks. Generally speaking, the DX-18 doesn't seem to be intended for in-canopy installs, but want to avoid any light spill into the room (so a...

Rock flower predator

I caught my rfa after lights out with a hermit in its clutches. I also could have sworn about a month ago that he had my blenny. Am I crazy or do the snatch and eat stuff? I feed him at least 2x a week frozen mysis. He is pretty big a bit bigger around then a coffee cup. Thoughts?
