Thanks Subsea. The roots have been great. I'm still trying to get more stuff growing on them. Yes, I'm hoping the botryocladia is happier now. I'd love to end up with a 16 inch specimen! I've had limited success with them.

I haven't looked at the cryptic zone thread. I do have Steve Tyree's book, "Environmental Gradient". Very cool stuff. My asymmetrical lighting was inspired by his ideas. I've got a fair amount of encrusting sponges growing in the dark end of the tank. I've had less luck with purchased display sponges.
