lol... OH yeah I could kill a man with the edges of that light :big_grin: I am going to get a couple of files today to smooth them out. It was a quick operation. I used tin snips for the sheet metal and a hack saw for the rails :embarrassed: I have vision but normally not enough know-how to do things super professionally. But from a distance it looks good and its hung pretty high up, but its dangerous.. could be classified as a weapon for sure!

Thanks guys!

So one of my 2 little guys/girls is out and about now and has made his nest front and center :) The other is still in the back of the rocks hiding mostly. I have run into a little problem with the LEDs... Well maybe more of a photography lack of skillzz thing I think. The pictures turn out SOO pink in the "raw" that I have to shoot them in the regular JPG format... but they are still pretty pink. Its crazy.. like bright florescent pink. The only thing I can think of is the red LEDs which I have turned way down and to look at they look nice.. not all pink. SO here are some pictures of the little guy... and well I hope they don't look so pink for all of you :)

Sureeeee ;). I know they are super cool and cute too. You could keep a little school in that big tank but be careful, they are easily spooked by fast swimming and aggressive fish and will hide and starve. That was the sad demise of Jolly (the original adorable jawfish) :( so far these guys (well one (other in qt still) are out and not scared acting) we will see.. Number two hid for a few days and I fished him out cause he was swimming funny and didn't look right, he's chilling in a qt but not doing so good I'll let you all know.

NICE AIPTASIA n00b!!!
That jaw can lay down da law.

Preuss has a nice new 12 gallon edge on display with a really nice jawfish in it. I think it looks cool in a tank with tall dimensions.
