dtum's Pragmatic Reef - 180 Gallons of Adventure

dtum said:
I've got a custom profile that I've ran on my frag tank for about a year. It works great and now I'm going to use it as a base on the main tank.

The trick is to run all 3 blue channels for about 8 hours with no other channels present. Then for the two hours I know I will be observing the tank I would change the lighting to whatever I prefer aesthetically.

My PAR is at 220-250 range and I find that my acros love it.

Interesting approach and nothing like I run my LEDs. Good luck with the conversion.
 
For 22 months I've been posting videos that are in diary format. This time around I wanted to try something completely different. So here's the result:

Music I've used for that video is copyrighted so it was blocked on a few mobile devices. If you are using a phone, here's an alternative version just for you.

I was over to see this spectacular tank. Let me tell you it's a tank you must see in person. I couldn't resist to pick up some frags.
Thank you for your warm welcome.

How long is your total photo period? Also when you mean 8 hrs of only blues, do you include uv? Or does the radions not have them. And what is your intensity when all blues are on?
Sorry, its just its a very interesting approach. Everyone talks about how you need to run whites to achieve success and growth with leds. However looking at your tank makes me second guess that. Its amazing btw..

Did you rescape your rock at on point? It looks like there are more caves now on the left and right sides!

I did took all of my rock out about a year ago and did a full rescape of the tank - now it is a lot more airy, with lots of space for the fish to swim through. All rock is secured just by acrylic rods.

Yes, those 8 hours of blues include all 3 blues that are in Radion. All three channels are at 100 per cent, but overall intensity is at about 75.
