Did this tank always have LED on it or are they a new addition? If new, what was the previous lighting

Well, tanks like this really sway the argument that LEDs don't show well on SPS. If you get decent LED fixtures, with variable adjustments in color, it really seems to make all the difference in the world. My 2w LEDs with fixed color just don't get that pop out of every coral the way the AI's do. Your reef looks just great!

Very nice colour. What are the measurements of the main aquarium, please (length, width, height)? It helps with perspective.

Thx,

Dave.M

Well
Answering the questions:

The tank aways have LEDS (2 and a half years now).
The size of the tank is (90L x 28w x 25).

Thanks for the replies.

Can you tell me what max intensity you run during the day on your whites, blues, and royals? I run 4 AI's on a 250 DD tank.

Your tank looks amazing.

Thanks.

 

[roberto_lopes]

bankerboy350, my config is:

12:00PM to 01:00PM = WH20%, BL50%, RY70%
01:00PM to 09:00PM = WH90%, BL70%, RY100%
09:00PM to 11:00PM = WH20%, BL50%, RY70%
11:00PM to 02:00AM = WH00%, BL00%, RY01% (with moon phase active)

Well that's it.

I hope it helps but be aware, if you are new to the AI fixtures or New to leds, I advise to start with 50% of the measures above unless you have a PAR meter to equalize the strenth.

Some other colonies I have:

Vermiculata

Green Tumida

Candlelight

ORA Red Planet

i'll keep uptading...

That tank looks like it should be on a post card or something

So much for the "LED can't grow SPS" argument. Great looking tank!!
