I thought this was a great shot! Love the width of this aquarium.

Very nice. What is that red colored coral that you can see in the reflection of the glass (on the right side on the sandbed)? I want to say its a brain, but it almost looks like a red version of a yellow leather.

 

[fisheebill]

That is a great shot!
The width is amazing!

Thanks everyone!! I can kind of make out how steve weast sees his deep tank except mine is only halfway as long from this angle.

I also cant believe how much more low maintenance this tank is compared to my 100g. It was harder to clean acrylic, the brace was always in the way, the JS2 reactor never changes unlike my Korallin (alk drops), higher PO4 in last tank because of too much lighting, etc.

Triton, it is a red brain, lobophyillia.

Very nice shot Ed! I can't believe your corals are growing too fast and the colors looks amazing!

 

[invincible569]

Thanks HW. The first yr, I dont expect much from my corals, but after a yr that they have been established, I expect normal growth and almost perfect coloring.

Did you ever do an equipment shot?

I used too in my last tank. I am going to redo the entire garage setup, but not in a rush at this time. Right now, things are messy.

Edward,


Been gone for some time, that is a very sweet setup you have there, looks like a very well thought out system you have going.

Just read you thread and wanted to say good job. Starting to really idolize your tank.

 

[invincible569]

Hey John! What a surprise. Glad to see you are back. Anything going on with you or just browsing around?

Jakrite, thank you.

 

[John Brancheau]

Edward,


Just browsing around, same tank, most of the colonies have been sold off, just waiting for the right time to get back at it in a serious way............

 

[IRISSERVICE]

very nice, can we get some updated specs

 

[invincible569]

John, let me know when you get back in.

IRIS, what specs are you looking for?


Other than that, slovan was kind enough to let me borrow his PAR meter. Here are the measurements I got ONLY from the water surface. Remember, the MH to the right is always off, therefore the low number.

1200 at the sps rock wow thats awsome how can it be 110 under the other 13k

that 65k iwasaki is a par monster.

GSM, the reason is because that light is off at all times until I want to turn it on for other purposes. Right now, I dont need it since all my softies on that side dont need the intense light.

As for the 65K, yes it is!! The 65K light has the same strength 6" away from the bulb as the Giesemann 13K at 2000. I was surprised! This means I really have to bring it down closer to the water now with the wand I never used. The 20K spotlight is a dissapointment, but its good enough for softies.

I finally got some true numbers for the actual power consumption I am utilizing for this tank. I have magnetic ballasts which is why I have numbers over 300. Thank you slovan for letting me borrow these tools.
