Wow, that's great to hear that your other mandarin survived!!! I love those little guys.
Support. That's what it's all about. Rob, in these 80 podcasts, I've learned more than I have in the past 4 or 5 years. Not so much learned new stuff but more like you've made things so much clearer for me. I think everyone is pulling for your tank to regain it's former beauty and more!
Well, about the lighting series, lights have always been such a mystery to me. Now that I'm starting to design my new tank, I know I want to do stoney corals like Montipora and the like. So this episode really came in handy. I've always wondered about all those reflectors out there and why there're so many strange looking ones and whether or not they actually worked. Well, now I do.
Did you do a lot of your research from Sanjay Joshi's (sp?) work? I've always felt his papers were so over my head. But I think I might go back and take another look at them to better understand how these lights work and why you use certain ones in certain situations.
Anyway, it's good to hear your voice so chipper even in the wake of your disaster.
Cheers!
Jeff
