You have a sick little tank nice work.

 

[SaguaroSteve]

Really like the bare bottom look and I'm loving all the SPS! I can't wait to see it grow out!

Nice tank. I am impressed by the coverage the AI Nano provided at that height. Do you know how high off the water surface it is? What intensity are you running at?

 

[Lpabsolute]

nice

Its about 13 " from the surface. Im considering lowering it atm. Im having some light spills. I think i have it at 75/80/90 30min ramp for 5hrs then blues kick in for 2 hrs

What is it exactly that you like better about the shallow?

I currently do not have any tanks and trying to explore all options.

i cant answer that. its a preference lol looks nicer

 

[bobssecrtsn]

well its almost been a month with these new t5 lights. and i must say. i will never go back to LED's.

bottoms up shot!

FTS

my RP has been the fastest coral growth ever!
before

after, also its getting more of a RED hue

everything else has been coloring up nicely, showing more P.E and encrusting at a faster rate.
