Hello, sorry for being away so long. Too busy trying to keep the lights on.

Plus I don't need to see pictures of the thread because I just walk in to Peter's house whenever in the area :thumbsup: don't be jelious LOL :lol2:

Tank is looking awesome, any updates on the mangrove wall? I'm curious to see how those parts turned out? I need to go back about 15 pages and start reading to catch up.

I'll let Mr. Wilson describe the progress with the Mangrove hydroponic wall units but it appears to be working well. There is an update coming. See you soon.

We have been following this thread since inception and think it is simply incredible! We have picked up so many innovative ideas here that can be applied to tanks of all sizes. Thank you to Nineball, Mr Wilson, and all of the participants for the wealth of knowledge! :bounce1:
 
Here are some fishroom shots including our new 130 gallon hospital tank.

Here are some pics of the new Orphek LEDs. We are getting PAR values of 600 a few inches below the surface, 300 on the substrate at the centre and 250 on the substrate near the glass. We are still running the MHL & T5 but only for part of the day.

Our two Bangai cardinals are a month old and almost ready for the display tank. We have two newly captured fry about the size of a grain of rice and the parents are still breeding. We had a few hundred Reidi sea horses last week but we didn't have rotifers ready to feed them. We will be prepared next time.

Absolutely amazing. You guys have done a fantastic job. I can't believe how great your tank looks in such a short amount of time! Can't imagine what this tank will look like in a year or 5 years! Good job.

Spectacular. Congratulations Peter, Shawn et al.

Love the pics Thanks fos sharing.
I'm interested in the comparison of the LED and MH lighting? Do yo usee any clear difference in the areas lit by MH and those lit by LEDs?
Any comparative PAR values would be appreciated as well as a reminder on which bulbs and ballasts reflectors you're using?
Thanks
 
Wow! what an update! you boys have been busy - just like we all expected. Beautiful shots Mr. Wilson. The tank has really begun to take shape. Looking great so far!!
