50 Cube SPS Zeo Reef

I'll give you a hand sized grown from frag under a Radium bulb SSC colony to put in its place - and no, i am not joking.............. checkmate i think :smokin:

Well you should be pleased to know my unwaivering love for my clam waivered just momentarily:debi: that would be an awfully nice addition in that spot :eek:
 
Halides were on for 4 hours today, frags for the person that can guess the temperature increase in the tank from the start to end of that period. Starting temp was 24.8 and house temp was 20 (Celsius)
 
Close ;) it only reached 25.1 at the end of the period with the heater running the entire time! haha happy days with the Hamilton unit :D this thing is amazing!!

That's a swing of 0.3 degrees C mate, amazing is no swing at all thanks to the 2.5hp reverse cycle air conditioner that is 4ft 4" away from the peninsula. I have calculated that the hole in the ozone layer forming directly above my house will allow me to start an outdoor coral farm sometime in the next few years. :beer:

haha I must admit both the ducting heating and the tank heater were on during this period so not too bad at not overheating :hmm3: Let me know when you start that coral farm, I'll come help with my SPF 10,000 :beachbum: due to being a redhead and probably just bursting into flames if not enough SPF's are used :blown: :angryfire:

Excellent :cool:
You'll love it! Still getting the Cebu Sun for your tank?? :)

Good to know the halide is working out mate. I saw the zoas in Biggles' tank...:strange:
Yeah, both the tank and I are loving it! :inlove: It's such a long fall off that might Acro-High Horse of his isn't it :wildone:
 
After being unimpressed with my knock off LEDs Ive had over my tanks for a couple years, I just pulled the trigger on a 72" 3x 250 MH w/ 4x 80 T5s combo fixture. Im pretty pumped about it.

Absolutely! Placed the order middle of last week. Should be shipping out this Monday so hope fully it should be up and fired in about 10 days :bounce3: Added three 250Rs to the same order since the standard bulb shipped with the C-Sun is a 14K Hamilton and we all know that just won't do :idea: Just need to sort out the T5 combo, going to order some 80W ATI so that I have all the pieces of the puzzle on hand when it comes time to do the deed. :cool:
 
That's great! Practically nothing.
I probably have a 3 degree F swing daily...
Gotta love the AC..
Yeah I'm really happy that there's such a small variation in temp when the house sits at 20 degrees with ducted heating and the tank heater on! Hopefully that will translate into not needing the chiller running all the time during summer!

Tank beautiful !!!!
HQI in vein! :dance:
The wonderful zoanthus and Acropora.
Good luck!
Thank you for the kind words mate. I'm very happy with the collection of corals I have gathered over the last couple of years and always looking to get more! Too many colours and corals to get still :spin2:

Very nice mate, if you were unimpressed by your leds you're going to be absolutely blown away by MH/T5 :blown: I loved my led's and once these went up my jaw hit the ground, it's such an awesome lighting type to have!

:celeb1::celeb2: Woohoo!!
You will love it, I'm stoked with the unit (as I keep saying :inlove:) lol. It's just a really well thought out and designed unit that works to do what it needs! The fans while noisy keep the unit much much cooler than I was expecting so it's a huge help with those, for the trade-off of a little noise.
As the lovely Andrew say's Blue+ and Coral+ seem to be the way to go but given how blue I like my lights to look I am also considering super actinic and blue or coral+. We'll see what I think once I have the 14K Hamilton swapped to a 20K Radium and go from there! ;)
 
Looks like you've infected others with your halide sickness buddy..........:p

What time are you coming around in the morning Dom, i need time to dip all the acros in food coloring before you show up............. :p

Btw, after i re wire your light unit i insist on you being the one to actually throw the switch for the test fire, i will be on hand with a fire extinguisher in case you go up and Kevin knows CPR so don't stress mate :thumbsup:

haha just remember after tomorrow and the Radium change over we're going to have to go into hiding as I did catch wind of Ecotech hire a hit squad for some crazy Aussie bloke and his sidekick :fun2: definitely a worthy infection though... :uhoh2: does that sound right? :wildone:

I would imagine I will swing by around 10:30am-ish :) I am a little bit excited to say the least! Been in a good mood since you called!

I guess if you're doing the wiring I can flick the switch, I hope Kevin is fast!! :blown:
 
10.30ish sounds good to me mate. I don't think Ecotech would be too troubled by our little halide group mate, if our acros look crappy they just look crappy but with a Radion you can have a lightning storm over your crappy acros - no one can compete with that.............:reading:

LOL, you're too much :D
 
Hey Wrangy, since my temp guess was pretty spot on, which frag are u sending me? Remember to use FedEx overnight to Toronto, Canada :thumbsup:

haha they're boxed and on their way :lolspin: the smell would be nice and explosive by the time they reach you though :blown:
