Looks great! I'm hoping to convince the wife of a 120 or 180 upgrade asap. Love the dimensions of my old 120. You're using the space very well!

Dang! Ya as soon as my family leaves town I'll come see it. Looks amazing

 

[tagraham]

put up that frag tank

 

[kycstudios]

That baby Loudi took care of that frag tank We will see how that goes... On those 2 actinic pics I increased the color saturation to try to create what it looks like to my eyes. More to come.

Loudi?

Very nice display!

I think he painted all of those corals... poor little corals struggling for life on the reef. LOL.

 

[tagraham]

thats how he gets all of them....i seen it

 

[kycstudios]

More like struggling to keep the alkalinity near 9, Mr. Bond.

What do you do for alk and calcium?

 

[FiShScaLe]

Great set up youve got going there. Everything looks happy SPS have some nice colors. I to wish I could set a 120 up love the dimensions but space and money dont permit ATM. If your going to be changing your MH bulbs soon why not go with 2 pheonix 14k bulbs or maybe a good 12k bulb since you have 2 T5 suppliments on there, give a nice balance of white and blue.

 

[APBonds]

If you just get a dosing pump your alk will stay at 9. We got one on the shelf its only $299.99. While your at it let's order some leds and build you a new light. :lol2:

 

[tagraham]

Do it

 

[kycstudios]

I am a human calcium reactor, Lemke. Brightwells 8.3 or baking soda/turbocal...kalkwasser sometimes.
I probably will go with 2-14k phoenix DE soon, Fishscale.
You can keep that 300.00 dosing pump Mr. Bond, and the led lights... Even though I do like the weird lighting effects that the ecotech Radions achieve.

Calcium reactor will be soon on the priority list.

I am going to post the re-aquascaped pictures in just a few...
Thanks.

Nice tank, how long has it been running? It's always nice to know how much time it took for the corals to get to the size we see in posts. It's helps us SPS newbie's to judge our own success. thanks for sharing.
