[jthnhale]

Spectacular photos. My next tank is a bare bottom with StarBoard.

 

[Flanders]

Wow!!!!! Sr = Strontium btw.

 

[Bomber]

Yep a dash of Sr chloride when I think about it. (that should have read a low "dose", lack of coffee again.)

 

[gregt]

Eww. Actually, I don't like the colors of those photos on my monitor at work. Way too saturated. They looked much better on my laptop LCD screen.

Jerel ,, You are putting Mrs's Dash in yoru tank again? I told you that I could find you somewhere online to buy firefish and you couldnt give your damsels spices to change there color,,,

How high above the water are your metal halides. Great picutres and a nice tank.

Mike, I measured.

They are 9" from the bottom of the glass bulb to the top of the water. 250w 10k's on IceCaps with Spider reflectors mounted so they spread down the length of the tank.

I only run the MH's for two hours though.

There's four 03's (two across) and four 50/50's (two across) that run for 10 hours. URI on IceCap.

Not much room to grow out,you may want to start fragging room to keeop up with the inevitable.

I'll Take some please,heh heh heh....

Thanks for the info.....What is the reason that lights with metal reflectors should be perpendicular to the tank instead of horizonal.....Thanks

I thought that was what the glass magnets were for.

Spiders are made to spread light sideways Mike.

You cant get those 10 foot VHOs from URI?

:lol2:


How many halides you have ? 4?

 

[Desert Fox]

Pics are looking great Greg, and the tank looks amazing Jerel!

 

[dphins]

You only run your mh for two hours? That is nothing like what everyone else is doing? It just shows you that there is so many way to run a successful tank!

 

[NuclearReefs]

dphinsx2, I have rolled my MH on my SPS tank back from 9 hours to 4 and now I have better color that I did before. So thats either one of two things, I was blasting to much or they like the peak intensity for shorter periods,,,,,

[melev]

But Bomber's tank has vastly improved clarity because of the lack of nutrients in his system. For the rest of us soup-owners, we need the MH lights on longer I believe.

 

[NuclearReefs]

What does the length of light have anything to do with how much we feed? I think that electricity is still flowing..... His lack of nutrient would only attrib the coloration .. Not his Photo taking skills...:lol2: I just think its a maturing system that has reached its Stability plateau,, which IMO is 9 mnths to a year,,,,,,

Isnt that about how old this sys is Jerel?
