Fishy's back with a rimless A.G.E.

Howre you liking that ATI fixture and your SPS? Im hoping to 10x80w on my tank

 

[fishypets]

Joe- I'm really loving the ATI fixture. I like how it only has one cord coming out of the fixture (and then splits to three) to keep the look clean and simple. The reflectors really make the ATI fixture a head and shoulders above the rest. I couldn't be happier and I had 800W of M.H. on my previous tank. I'm a T5er for life I guess you could say.

... and you were so close to ditching the Powermodule when you got the system. I'm glad to see you love it!

 

[GSMguy]

the colors look perfect very clean.

 

[stunreefer]

Looks so awesome Clint! :thumbsup:

 

[gkarshens]

That Tort looks like it has colored up nicely. Gotta close up?

 

[Jflip2002]

Curious why you were going to ditch the ATI fixture initially.. Just so I know what to be weary of. Im paranoid to go from 400w MH to T5s

 

[snaza]

Sweet tank. Do u feel the 4ft lights cover the 5ft tank ok?

 

[Jflip2002]

A 4' fixture easily covers, especially if T5s.. Its only 6" on each side that its missing. The T5s disperse light nicely, theyre not as concentrated as MH. Im going to have to run a 60" over my 72" tank.

 

[fishypets]

Thanks for the compliments.

Joe I was worried that the ATI fixture wouldn't provide the growth, color I was aiming for. I was wrong. I say go for it, no regrets at all.

 

[Dudester]

Yeah Joe, Clint has always been a halide kinda guy. He was probably skeptical of the T5's because I didn't have the opportunity to do them justice when I owned the system. But Clint has the magic touch and his corals look great no matter what lighting he uses.

 

[fishypets]

Gabe the tort has grown and colored up nicely. Here's the best close up I could get. Looks a little different with polyps eh?

Mike- My previous opinion on T5's had nothing to do with your tank. My thinking was "old school" and I just needed to see for myself. Besides your tank had improved in strides toward the end in regards to color.

Growth shot:

This little frag came out of a tank that had awesome color(dudesters office tank) back in December. Two months in my tank the colors had faded and growth was minimal to say the least. The last picture was taken one month after starting Zeovit.

Very Nice Clint. The tank is coming along quite nicely.

 

[Dudester]

Looking GREAT Clint, gotta get off my arse and see it. Are all the other corals responding as favorably as the LITS?

 

[fishypets]

Mike,

Each and every coral has shown improvment over the last month, even your purple selago that looked sickly. And yes you need to come check it out but bring sunglasses, you'll need em to stare at my new acans! Got these in from Fishnfrags. A++ guy to do business with.

Group shot

 

[Dudester]

As nice as those acans are, I'm really impressed with the coloration and growth of that watermelon chalice. I'll be cleaning off my shades so I can see'em in person very soon.

 

[fishypets]

Finally found clams worthy of purchase. Picked these up yesterday at Austin Aqua Farms. What a find eh?

New jewel of my reef.......Black and white Maxima!

Groupie shot.

 

[Jar*Head]

Very nice cover and alignment Clint... You must be a neat freak... BTW, i love the chalice collection

 

[gkarshens]

You actually got Matt to answer his phone?!? Nice pick up!
