Hey Darryl,
What's your complete lighting schedule?.
Do you get any color shift in your corals when you reduce the schedule down?.
How often do you change out the bulbs/tubes.?
Do you cut the tube schedule when you change them out too?
When do you run the led's ?.
Have you tried Radiums?.
Thanks.
Mo

DID I SOUNDS SMRT??
Thanks man. Its getting pretty pounded by light and flow. It is similar to the red planet but more pink at least were I have it. Its growing super table like too.
No....from my understanding that is more for the fish parasites right? Never really felt the need.
Lighting schedule right now is VHO/royal blue led 13hrs, MH 5hrs
I go 2 yrs on the VHO and I have thought about replacing them with more LED. I dont get any colour shift when I reduce the photoperiod but I watch closely to see if they can take more or less light, making changes slowly of course. I have tried radiums and they seemed very similar to the XM 20k. I really dont have a preference of the two.
Hey Olivier. The third picture I posted of this round has the key lime at the top. She is a tad more green than in the past due to the old MH bulbs and too much coral crowding but still going strong and looking good.

Hey Darryl,
Beautiful TOM!!!
Question I know you have 2 Tunze 6100 and a Tunez Wavebox, where are the 6100's and the box located in your tank? I watched the video your buddy took, and it looked like your Torch in the front bottom left was flowing to the left ,and I didn't see it change direction.
Do you have the 6100's alternate or how do you have them set up/controlled?
Thanks---Rick

I have 5 tangs (lg naso, sailfin, blue, yellow, powder blue), an harlequin tusk, flame hawkfish, 2 black ice clowns and a chromie, I think thats it.
thanks :beer:
The wavebox is in the back left corner and is hard to see because its black and blends in with the background. I left probably 6" from the back pane of glass to my rock work so it just shoots water down the back of the tank. The 6100's are about 1 foot in from each side up high facing the middle and are on a controller that ramps them from 30% to 100% alternating them, so one is at 30% and the other would be 100% and than they switch ever few seconds.
Also interesting to note is I havent cleaned any of the tunzes in almost 2.5yrs.......Im a big fan.
Thanks. I dont really dose anything other than alkalinity, calcium and magnesium. Im not even sure what oligo ecc is?

Ya I'm the same with my Tunzes 6105's I've had them over 2yrs, never touched them.
I'm putting together a Jarduino controller that will alternate them any way I want. It's also going to control some 100w DIY LED's I'm building.
Your tank is the bomb. Be watching for future pics.---Rick

Hi,
I've been a fan of the tank for quite some time; I was glad to see it finally pop up as the TOTM. One aspect of your system that I particularly like is the water-change/settling tank. I think JSousa also asked, but could you perhaps take a couple of pictures of the plumbing on it? Perhaps from different perspectives?
It inspired me to incorporate something similar in my 150 build. I'm just torn between having the water flow from DT-->H20 change tank-->sump OR DT-->sump-->H20 change tank (via pump)-->back to sump.
Basically my choice is whether to have cascading tanks or two tanks with a common sump; hope that makes sense.
If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like you have cascading tanks. (DT-->H20 change tank-->sump). I'm having trouble imagining how to do that with a beananimal...
