Adee's new build

I am done, No more aquariums for me !
After seeing this Guys coral debauchery I can't even look at my aquarium any more!
I will begin flushing my meger specimens down the toilet as soon as the lights turn off!
Anyways i am done with my self pitty, looks like I am gonna have to work alot more overtime."LOL"
Nice system very impressed! Keep up the hard work.
 
Me personally, well I think this is very refreshing to see such a beautiful reef, that, well, actually resembles what you see, as I did, when snorkelling on reef such as in Egypt, on the Sinai.

Witnessing this hobby delve deeper and deeper into extremities of blue and other exotic tube/light colourations just seems so fake and improper.

I kind of wish the lighting styles would reverse back to give us lots more views of what nature intended...
 
Thanks all,

@Boboli...please, my intention is not to have you give up the hobby!!

@Jitter...true, though I do long to also witness what other "normal" tanks look like...so as we now in our winter...time for some un-natural lights.
 
It has arrived!

Last afternoon of just plain old sunlight, now I can enjoy my tank everyday till late in the evening. The 18K combination will be a color tweak in terms of the spectral range not offered by sunlight. I'm impressed with the light spread, very little wastage of light. Though some corals are shadowed, thats because my 2m x 1m wide tank is almost full (length and breadth) with SPS growth. And no, I'm not allowed to upgrade again to a bigger tank.

All pics that follow are from the 1st night under LED's....these will be my baseline in terms of monitoring SPS color changes.

Oh darn. That's a pretty tough baseline you are stuck with. ;)

True, my reaction when when the "lights when on", reaffirmed that sunlight alone on a tank can give you good results. But, that whats I like about this hobby, allows for you to manipulate parameters and make changes to your setup...and then learn as you go along.

You have a very nice tank adee .. greetings from indonesia ..
Hello and thank you!
 
I've been lurking this thread for a long time and now i am completely speechless. Adee the colors are amazing. Simply stunning !!

While precariously perched on top of a step ladder with arms outstretched, trying not to get my camera wet, never mind falling into the tank"¦. I took these shots. Hope you enjoy.
