Hey, Just ordered a tank. 48x30x18 and a 8 bulb PM. Your tank is soooo nice I cannot wait.
What is you bulb combo right here? From page 3
What bulb positions are the 2 bulb?
Thanks

Hi Kc3,
Congrats on the new tank. You're gonna love it!
That particular combo was:
blue+
ge 6500k
blue+
uvl white actinic
blue+
ati pro color
blue+
blue+
The 2 bulb were #3 and #6. My bulb combo now is different. I've found that all my corals were getting bleached out even with the fixture being 8" above the water line and a photo period of 7 hours total. The output on the PM is quite intense.
I spoke with Ali at Amazing Reefs and he recommended I use the same combo he uses in in store. So now I'm on my 5th combo change since I started my tank :beachbum: but am very happy with the results.
blue+
blue+
blue+
wave point coral wave
blue+
aquablue special
blue+
blue+
Bulbs 1,2,4,5,7,8 are on for 7 hours (2pm - 9pm) and bulbs 3,6 are on for 3 hours (4pm - 7pm).
At first, I was thinking this combo would be way too blue but it actually gives a very nice spectrum. Not too blue and not too white. I've been running this for 2 weeks now and already my Forest Fire digita is starting to color up. I've never heard of the Wave Point Coral Wave bulb but so far it's doing well. I still have my Fiji Purple as a backup though.
Thanks for the kind words, jbird69. I'm diggin' your set up as well. :beer:
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the compliment. How's your new tank coming along?
Thanks for the advice rholguin. I may have to get one. A friend of mine, Robojet, has offered to build me one but I've been lazy getting her the netting material.

Here you go. This is with the 6 bulbs on. I'll take another when the white and other blue bulb come on. My camera doesn't capture the true color but it's close.
Maybe next weekend, the netting is hiding somewhere in my garage.

Sweet! Your tank should be cycle right around the time MAX comes to town.
Thank you, nice of you to stop by.
I picked up this really cool looking Australian Blasto today. It hasn't fully opened yet but I love the colors on this one. :rollface:

LOL I may want to put a lock on my screen netting once I get it made. :eek1:
I'm going to wait for growth at this point. However, I figure I have enough room for about 7 SPS pieces and about 4-6 acans frags then I'm good to go. I'm going to be traveling a lot for work in the next two months so I don't plan on getting anything until I return.
In the meantime, I just started my VSV dosing and will concentrate on that to how things go.
