I'm pretty sure around Christmas you said you were switching from the xm's to the radiums on a m59 ballest. How is that working for you? Any color shift yet? It's obvious yourtank looksfantastic. If I'm confusing you with someone else I'm sorry.

What pellet/reactor combo do you use?

Beautiful tank and corals. Milli's are some of my faves.

Yep that is me The bulbs are still firing fine and going strong. They are really similar to XM though...maybe a touch different. I also think XM are bit brighter....but I cant say for sure. I like the radiums though...

What pellet/reactor combo do you use?

Beautiful tank and corals. Milli's are some of my faves.

The reactor is a modified percision marine and the pellets are from SWC. They are PLA I think...cylinder type. Same as the new NP biopellets and BRS I think.

Millepora are some of my favorites too.....ah heck who am I kid'n they are all my favorites

 

[nuccadoc]

What a fantastic setup! At the rate your corals are growing you may need a bigger tank!

Its really just an ordinary squamosa...the only thing that makes it stand out is its size. Save yourself a plane ticket and I could ship you out some frags.....of course if you ever find yourself in my area you are more than welcome to stop in.

It costs me less to fly there than to ship! It would be a pleasure to see your system

I dont know about that...shipping corals is usually 40-60bux...that would be a cheap flight.

Anyway got some good shoots of my Tyree Undata and Superman......

Hope you like.....

Hi Darryl, can you please tell me how blue your 400w Halide and VHO in person compared to the photos posted? I've always loved the 400w 20K + VHO actinic photos, but never used them (I dont think VHO are available here in the UK) and so would like to know what the over "whiteness" of the tank is?

Many thanks.

PS new photos would not go unappreciated.

Hmmm....the color of the light is subjective. I dont think its that blue really....I've always used 20k w/a actinic though and love it. I do find that if I walk into the room it looks blue sometimes but than my eyes adjust and it doesnt really look that blue.

I try to get the pictures to show the true colors....so to me they are close.

New photos will be coming.....thanks

 

[dvanacker]

Just a few more pics to add

Update on the Bubblegum. Best Millepora in my possession that is for sure.!

CONFUSA

AUSSIE ECHINATA...needs a bit more time and maybe more light...still looking pretty good.

TYREE RAINBOW STYLO

Keep up the excellent work! :spin1:
