Nice tank! How do you like the move to LED's?

Also, and I am not trying to be a jerk, but I think the tank would look better if the back wall was cleaned of coralline - the rock stack and corals would show up better, at least in photos. Either way, I love that brain in the upper left!

Love the LEDs wisk I did it long before and the glitter is back .My T5s didn't have it. I had them for a month now.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Looking good as usual Terry!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

very nice. Nice & fat Macrodactyla doreensis. The coralline looks good, IMO.

You need to get the photosynthetic gorg that's popular around here. Also look for a yellow Sarco. JMO.

What's the red coral along the upper back?

 

[mr86mister]

Gary I think its a Goniopora.

Tank looks really good. I've been reading alot lately relative to LED lighting and thought "shadowing" was a a big problem. Your tank put those thoughts to rest; nice job. - Mark

BTW there is only a wave make in the tank.

How do you have it in the wall, hard to tell on the close up FTS.

BTW there is only a wave make in the tank.

the returns are moving water, too- right?
I see that big black box on the left- it looks new (no corallines). How long have you had it?

 

[gandolf8]

I have had the wave box for 5 yrs. now. I take it down and soak it in vinegar takes everything off.

ok now for my sump
I have my R/O unit I think this is the best one I have found.
Next I have a litermeter 3 for water changes takes out 1 1/2 gal of water out and put back the same in a 24 hr period.
Next is the Bubble Magus BM-T01 Dosing Pump this doses Alk, Cal and Mag
The Alk, Cal and the mag are B-Ionic
The Alk is 20 Mil, Cal 25 Mil and mag 15 Mil in 24 hrs period
This is a carbon and Pho-4 reactor
The Sump, Skimmer and the Refugium are all Lifereef love there product
Also have the new Neptune Apex this is the best .
I am also trying a new salt Tropic Marin BIO-ACTIF System

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

[gandolf8]

didnt realized your tank was lit by LEDs, looks great!

those look like BRS media reactors, was wondering how are they working out?
can you see the media tumbling?

 

[gandolf8]

yup as long as I don't pack it to tight

 

[Dave VG]

Wow very impressive and very organized. I wish lol.

 

[Johnsy85]

Very nice! how did the coral react to the change to LEDs?

 

[cardiffgiant]

Wow, excellent system!! The display is very impressive and I love the way that your basement sump area is organized. I like the use of the litermeter for automated water changes.

 

[gandolf8]

The LEDs didn't make that much of a change to the corals .I just think it help more that the T5s I had.
