Are you expecting them to worsen? Why? Your tank and fish all look quite spectacular. I love the fact that you have not gone with the ridiculously over-blue lighting, but have kept things looking realistic.

Thanks mate

Colours will go back to what they were before winter came along, as I only added the lighting unit then....now that summer is on its way, I'm going back to sunlight only tank...electricy bills are high and I really don't need the added headache of trying to cool the tank, even though I have a chiller.

Great to see your tank here on RC Adrian - always a pleasure to read up on your system

Hey Michael...Thanks, you found me here :D. LoL, been a silent partner here for a long time.

I've had started up the beginnings of the filtration with some 50kgs live rock, & threw in some caulepra as well.

Took me awhile but I just read your entire build. You do amazing work.
Love the natural sunlight concept. Wish I could do that with mine.

Maybe I missed it-
Does the light fixture hanging over you DT shade it from sunlight? Do you move it somehow during the midday? Does enough light get around it that it's not really a problem?

Awesome tank!:thumbsup:
 
Thanks Reef SMAC, yes it does shade the sunlight. But not too much. I plan to remove the unit next month as summer will be in full swing this end. Also want to reduce the heat on the tank.
 
Love the movie, wish it was full lenth, sound track also rocks. Did not realise that you are on RC. Wish I was able to see it in person. That clip rocks.
