Fire Shrimp....love this guy, he's pretty shy though...Always in the same spot though, so I can watch him some. The pictures don't do him justice, he shed about 3 days ago and is absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for the pics! I'll admit that I'm not T5 expert (I always go to The Grim Reefer in the lighting/equipment forum for all my questions--he really knows his stuff), but I've chatted with him enough to know that you want individual reflectors over each bulb to get the most bang for your buck with T5 lights. However, I think you're fine for now as long as you're keeping softies, lps. Keep the birdsnest towards the top of your tank, and consider getting the individual reflectors if you want to keep clams or more SPS corals. By the way, they do make individual reflectors that just snap onto your light bulbs, so you don't have to scrap your current fixture--just do some measuring to make sure they'd fit.
I love fire shrimp--their colors are just so intense. It's too bad they're so secretive compared to their cousins, the cleaner shrimp. Mine would only come out of his cave when I fed the tank, lol.

I'll have to check into the individual reflectors when the bulbs need replaced, thanks for the advice, I'm loving the tank so far though, and enjoy learning new things to improve on it.

Yes, it'd be easier to just stand over your tank and empty your wallet into it. And these forums are great, we just LOVE spending other people's money!
