Thanks.
I might have to lower my lights a bit..
I'm using the old giesemann bulbs.. and ati coral plus.
If you know.. just curious:
Aqua blue azure = aqua blue + or lagoon blue?
Super purple = pure actinic?

Yea helped me squeeze out a few more par by lower the light just have to constantly clean the glass now.

If I remember correctly the
Aquablue azure = coral +
Super purple = purple +
Super actinic = actinc
Actinic blue = blue +

I definitely prefer the Giesemann super purple and super actinic over the ATI bulbs the rest are pretty much interchangeable
 
How are you liking that radium bulb? Are you adding it in addition to the T5 or replacing?

Love the radiums but not using them
For the display. Currently using one on one of my frag tanks to color up some misbehaving acros.

If and when I upgrade the display defiantly doing a MH/T5 combo

Have resorted to any means necessary to make more Acro real estate in the display and figured would try out the new Fauna Marin Aquascape fix.

This is where I'm at so far couldn't add too much tonga branch without making it look terrible.

Well the FM aquascape fix is worthless for trying to mount anything in the tank. It's what my kids would call an Epic Fail. I don't think anything can replace epoxy n superglue glue for in tank work.

Had plenty of branch rock left over and started building a new scape to possibly replace one side of the display or for another future project. This is where the FM aquascape fix was awesome to work with and would use again for working with any dry rock.

what lights are you using then?

Corey



Lighting:
Display: 8x54w ATI dimmable
Frag tank 1: 8x80w ATI
Frag tank 2: 250w radium and black box led
Zoa tank: black box led
Fuge: 6x39w T5
Cheato ball in one of the sumps has Mars Hydro par 38 bulb over it

Think that covers all of it
 
Oh yeah. Me too!
Amazing!
Your colors, in general are looking fantastic!



Thanks Matt very please with how well everything is doing, except my ORA joe the coral colony [emoji37] it decided to RTN on me over the last 2 days cut a few frags off hoping they would make it but nothing left of them by time I got home from work. Ran threw all the tests and nothing was out of my normal range. Just chalk it up as a loss and move on keeping a close eye on everything else.
RIP joe the coral

In better news my radium lite acros are responding nicely.
