Sweet tank. I don't want to de-rail your thread just a quick question on how you feel about the quality of your GC tank build?
Im a TN person so they are a couple of hours away and I thought I might get them to build me a long'ish, shallow tank but I always hear about sloppy craftsmanship and it has kind of put me off. Your tank looks good though.
How do you feel about it?

I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars i guess. Silicone was sloppy in a few places, but for the money and considering it is custom I'm satisfied. Stand seems well built also.

It's just LED lighting from Radion pros 80% RB 60% UV. Camera white balance captures it as a purple hue.
Thanks for the kind words :spin3:
My radion schedule is attached. I've had a few people ask about it over the past month or so.

Appreciate it! Wish I would have done a 180 though... look forward to seeing how yours turns out~ good luck
I get a great balance of color and growth. I'm as happy as can be with my Radions..... wish I had another one to add to the mix.

Really nice tank! Corals look fantastic. Amazing pe.
I see you are using biopellets and gfo. Where are you keeping you n and p?
Do you feed the corals or just the fish?
Oh and I love the psychedelic video. No need for pharmaceutical intervention.
The radions can produce a purple light that I've never seen on any other led fixture.

I have yet to set up the BP reactor on this tank, until I see nitrates near 10 I doubt I will. I feed fish daily and SPS once every couple days. Right now I'm using Rod's coral food disolved and fortified with amin-omega. I don't test for phosphate and currently I am having trouble keeping nitrates detectable, even with moderately heavy feeding. Salifert is showing around 1ppm, I'd like them in the 3-5 range.
The purple hue is mostly due to the funky white balance on my camera. I think it looks neat though.
