New tank with LED light

[sahin]

Looking great Rodney. Be in teresting to see how well the SPS colour up under the LED's.

The Hydra52's and Radion Pro's are the only LED's that I seen in person so far to produce decent results.

Lookin shmicko mate Definitely keen to see how you go with the led's!

Great scape!

I'll be watching this evolution. You have beautiful corals.

Hopefully the LEDs also bring more success.

Hugs! :thumbsup:

This is my fav part of the tank right now, the contrast between the corals is intense!

Everyone wants to get in the way of the photos though

Looking good Rodney, contrasting colors is what it's all about when it comes to creating a standout SPS display and you obviously know what you're doing when it comes to that piece of the puzzle mate :thumbsup:

What's the going rate for purple tangs in Sydney lately mate, i saw a couple of poor looking 3" specimens for $300- each today which i thought was a joke but i haven't priced one in over ten years so i'm curious.

Beautiful shots!
Looking really nice.
Love the first shot.

They are about the same price here. Maybe slightly cheaper at $250. There were some nice ones at the LFS last week was tempted to get a few but think I'll do a bunch of yellows instead.

Thanks Matt liking that highlighter acro. Sometimes the cheaper ones look as good as expensive corals ��

I think a bunch of yellow tangs would look awesome Rodney, i was discussing doing a similar thing with a friend recently but that would require a much longer tank than my little 5 footer

Just some coral shots...some new frags in there :thumbsup:

5th Hyrda will be added this weekend when it turns up, not bad having 5 of them to light up a 7'tank tip to tip - I would have used two 39' ATI's to get the same coverage so the cost of the LEDs isnt that bad...well sort of lol

 

[Wrangy]

Very nice mate, very nice indeed!

 

[sahin]

Very very nice mate. Love the first two-they look stunning! :thumbsup:

 

[M007]

Outstanding

Cool! Thanks for that.
Do you still have a good ol salifert potassium test kit?
If not what are you using?

Yep using a Salifert kit.
