So...what do you think? just got the new lights last night and can't believe the diference from reg florecent's to T-5's

It is coming along nicely , however that tank is way to small for that tang , I am not trying to criticize , just trying to be helpful.

Ok...so I know this is a really old thread, but I thought it would be fun to post a pic of what the tank looks like today in it.

What do you think of the progress?

Beautiful tank, nice progress. I cant believe thats only a 60 gallon tank. When i first seen it i thought it was way bigger. How many t-5's. What live stock do you have in your tank. Either way great job.

Nice tank. I will be setting up my 50 pretty soon once I get everything in order. I have a koralia 1 and 3 how is your flow with the 2 and 3 ?

 

[Chris&Mel]

Between that and the mag 10 I have for my return pump there is alot of flow. (in fact I have the mag 10 throttled back to about 1/3-1/2)
Being that I have 6 different kinds of SPS in there now i've been trying to run a higher flow with out disrupting everything else or causing a sand storm....lol It actually took alot of experimenting with different placement and directions to get it just right.
