OK Updating....


All SPS colonies have arrived now. It is a little mess on the tank because i'm positioning according with lightning and current requirements.

Pictures was from my iphone so it's not the best of quality.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Looking good, but be careful ... it looks like your 'fake' anemone is on the move!

Very impressive! You have such a wide variety of corals and colors!

 

[roberto_lopes]

Amazing build...could you go into more detail on the electrical work you did? Maybe a step by step guide? I'd love to do something like that in my next build.

 

[roberto_lopes]

Sure i can. Tomorrow i will post the details and internal pics of the eletrical work.

Well updating:

Yesterday i finish positioning the colonies and I think that looks good.

If someone see something wrong with my choice of places, PLEASE tell me so I can correct. It's som many species and I may have made some mistakes.

Here is how it looks now:

Right side:

Just for fun:

...and NOT, I didn't buy a pro camera so it's from my iphone....

The siporax is doing his jog nicely:
No3: Undetectable
Po4: Undetectable
Nitrite: Undetectable
Ammonia: Undetectable
Ca: 460
KH: 7,7
MG: 1340

I want to maintain the KH at 8 max 8.5.

Actualy consuming from my balling method:

Ca: 900ml/day
KH: 900ml/day
Mg: 700ML/day

Trace elements (Bario, Strontium, iode, Fe) are on the solutions as well at low concentrations.

Color are improving fast and the colonies are already growing.

Thanks again for the nice comments and feel free to point my errors.

Your tank is beautiful and you got 15 Hydras/52s(I cant tell) over that tank. Simply marvelous.

Thanks and Yes, it's realy 17 Hydra52 over the tank.

You must have the other two in a secret department. How high do you have off the water? Also with your tank dimensions you could' have gotten away with 12 of them. I take it you wanted to cover everything.

 

[roberto_lopes]

Those two mor was added last weekend. So I don't have pics of them.

They are at 10" from the water approx.

A superb set up, I'll enjoy watching if progress as I did your last build. That is a lot of 52 lol. I only have 4 on my 6 x 33.5" aquarium ha!

I think the 52 are the best AI lights to date and when PAR tested my results of one 52 compared well with a new 20k 400 watts lamp in a lumenmax reflector and galaxy ballast.
