Not yet Graham.Ive sacked the copperband,he wasnt eating them but liked the acan so now im on 5 peppermint shrimps.I think they may have had a few but i feed so much and i dont want to starve the fish so we will see.

Thanks guy's! :)

One problem......in another year i wont have room for fish! :)

I cant really get a shoot without blues but i dont run any actinics anyway.Its a six tube ATI power module,6x54watts.I run two aquablue specials(white)and four blue plus(high power blue).What i can do is a shoot with two white and two blues with the other two blues off as they are on a seperate timer/switch......
