Sorry if I missed it earlier, but what camera and lens are you using?

Thanks for the answer David. What is the large horizontal tank to the left of the RO/DI unit used for?

65 gallon fresh ro/di water. I bought it back when all I had was a 220 DT.
I was mixing salt in 30 gallon barrows. So i still make 65 gallons at a time for top offs. I use it pretty fast with 7-12 gallons a day evaporation.

canon macro 100mm image stabilization. I got it with the image stabilization. If you get it without the image stabilization it is about $400 cheaper

Looks great Ive got a 350 with 3/4" glass and the 2 mp40s work fine with the spacer removed, and I have one mp60 on the left side and 3 mj1200s pro on the right side and on the back I have 2 mp40s and 1 tunze 6055. Once I get the funds I want to replaced the other pumps with vortechs and upgrade my lights to leds. How deep is your tank and how do you like the radiums?

Radiums are archaic Metal Halides...Now Radions are LEDs! :lolspin:

 

[david00061]

tank is 27" deep. So far I love the radions. All the corals seem to be responding good. I have them set at 52% right now. I am bringing the light intensity up 7% every week.

 

[david00061]

Week one lights were set at 14k, peak time, 3 hours. over all intensity turned down to 45%. week two over all intensity 52%.
Corals are continuing to respond very well to the radions. The coral in this center of photo was stressed real bad the top ¼” of all the branches were brown in just 2 weeks all the tips have the colors back.
