lol the formula goes 25" wide 21" deep and 16" high

Should be length X width X height. width is front to back and I assume thats what you mean by deep.

^^ Right. The mathematical formula for volume is always LxWxH. It always throws me off when people say "wide" and "deep."

 

[Giga]

lol yes width also how high can a 6x24" unit sit off the water of my tank when coral will only be like 10-12" down?

reefsahoy, most of your corals on top looked bleached out? How high off the water are your lights?

the light are about 6 inches above water. the corals are not bleached. here are the corals that are nearest to the light.

 

[ianiwane]

I would say the first two coral are indeed bleached.

Have to say this tank is really beautiful.

He has the t5s like 3 feet above the tank surface.. Is that where they go?

My tank is 26" high. I had to move my T5s up to about 12-14" off the water because of bleaching. Everything is still growing and seems happy.

Could you tell me what lights you have , are you using overdrive?

Also how big is your tank?

Im trying to decide how high to put my lights.

2x 10 , 2x aquablue, 1 superblue, 1 pure actinic (very little light from this).

 

[stevedola]

I run a tx5 about 3" about the tank top and I overdrive 3 bulbs.

Here's my 75, just a little over a year old, and has been running under T5s only.

Wendy, You have some Mad Skillz!!!!!

How do you accomplish the great colors ?

 

[2frosty4u]

Thats an awsome tank you got there wendy. sure gets me thinking about my hydro bill to feed the MH's and all the heat issues that come with them.

 

[JerseyWendy]

Thank you very much. This is my first reef tank, and I did a whole lot of reading and researching before I jumped into this. I honestly LOVE the T5s. I don't use Zeo or Probidio, and everything's done manually (topping off, dosing). I feed heavy and skim extra heavy.

Here are a couple of more pictures of some Acans:

Oh, and I'm keeping 2 clams - on the sandbed. Here you can see my Maxima.
