Mr.Tiddles (feline cat) woke me up this morning. He was sitting next to my head kissing me all over my face trying to wake me up so he can get his food. It was the cutest thing i ever seen.
Did you forget to wipe off your milkstache after dinner last night?

I have been pondering purchasing some cheap chinese blue leds from Ebay to use as a moonlight or to add some color to the coral. Im also going to buy better bulbs from aquatraders soon. I dont like the 50/50 bulbs. Im going to opt for 1 full white and 1 full blue.

If you go the Chinese route like I did, be sure to get the 3w LED's. I have 64 3w LEDS (16 blue, 48 10K) and they look amazing! I got mine from a seller on eBay named TopDogSellers

You misunderstand. This is just accent lighting. To make the corals colors pop. I dont plan nor want to fully convert to led. If i get them they'll just be .08watt blue leds. A couple dozen. And maybe throw in a few red and such.

If your ever planning or plan to switch out your light I'd go with a kessil a150w. I got it 2 months ago and I love it, it defenitly makes the corals pop with color.. Here's a pic

Why don't you buy good bulbs instead of just getting more cheap ones. Then you wouldn't need to waste money on accent lighting that wont do anything to make your corals look better.
