Hi guys,
Been busy, so not much time to take photos.
The tank has been running with ATI Hybrids for the last six months.
I also use the Aquaforest system- supplements and probiotic salt. They really have made a huge difference.
Please excuse the fish trap. After 4 years, my copperband has decided to eat some scans whilst I was away. Going to catch him for the sin bin!

Thanks Guys
The Hybrids are here
There are six fixtures, covering the tank.
There are 4x4ft and 2x3ft models.
I have them 10" above the water. I would have liked them higher, for maintenance reasons, but that's as high as I can get them.
I run Blue and Royal Blue/ Violet LEDs ramping up to 35% only. They run from 10AM to 11pm.
I run 2 ATI Actinic, 1 Coral+, 1 Aq Blue Special, 1 Purple Plus and 3 Blue+ tubes per fixture. They run for 8 hours, but currently at 80%. I am ramping them up to 100% slowly.

Mo, Ive seen lots of awesome tanks in my years but your tank just makes my jaw drop everytime I see pictures. Such an awesome tank man!!! I cringe a little when I think of changing all those T5 bulbs though :uhoh3: I dont even like changing 8 :lol:
Got anymore details on this Aquaforest system or can you point me in the right direction to read more?

moser - that is absolutely incredible, and what's even better is that you're in the UK! where are you based?
out of interest - what are your tactics for scaping? ie - how do you get corals in and out? bearing in mind it's 6ft - i'm picturing you in a wetsuit? i am sick of gluing coral in my 3 foot deep tank let alone 6 feet....
amazing!

I believe that it's actually 8 ft front to back...and 6' side to side

Changing tubes takes an hour or so.
I can wheel out two fixtures at a time, so it's not too much of a problem.
Experimenting with tubes can be a pain though, but I think Im happy with the mix I have now"¦.
You can check Aquaforest on their .eu website or google it.
All of their supplements are listed- happy to discuss the ones I've used.
Their salt is great too.

Thanks!
:thumbsup:
I used 100% ceramic rocks from Korallenwelt.
The tank is 8ft front to back. I tried to place most corals around the sides and back, so easier access"¦.
Cheers

why did you switch from halides to T5 ? I saw the beginning of thread you had halide fixtures up . and do you see any electricity saving ?

Hey Mo, do you think Koralenwelt would ship these rocks to u.s. ......or do they have a U.S. Distributor?
