Real nice,hoping at some point those fire goblins are going to make it to syracuse,lol.
I cant remember if you said the leds you were using are diy or commercial fixture.Been thinking about going all led recently,but the threads in the lighting forum are the size of a full book to sort through.
Anyway,your tanks looking sweet,-steve

Thanks Steve, The leds are the same as the evolution leds(made by the same company in China). I don't get out to Syracuse very often but if you or anyone else is ever out this way send me a pm and i'll send some out that way..

looking very nice Henry! i am liking those redish zoa in #42... hmmm, my bro is coming to visit me from rochester, do u take paypal ;D
are you noticing energy savings with the led setup? they sure look very nice and bright
Hey Lang, those are pink lightning palys..I don't paypal but we could work something out pm me and we'll discuss it.. I'm using 1/2 of the electricity I was using before and the growth i'm getting is insane not to mention the colors.. When I take pics I just crop them so what the camera sees is what you guys get to look at..maybe i'll try my hand at trying to get them the colors they are in the tank...

Phenomenal growth, Henry!
Those lights punch right through to the bottom of the tank, don't they?
Very nice!

Thanks Scott, yeah the light are pretty strong. I had to shade most of my lps due to bleaching. I run the whites for only 6 hrs. a day and that seems to be about all the corals need right now. I run the blues for 11 hrs.

Thanks Henry,
Still got a lot to learn about led.It seems to have just really taken off in the past 6 months or so.I remember seeing your first comeback post and judging from the pics not all that long ago till now is astonishing growth wise,color is also, amazing.Nice all the way around no doubt about it.
Let you know and return with something from my tank or cash.

Thanks again Steve, I'd be willing to trade for some colorful palys or zoas...
Henry,
- how much carbon do you regularly run,I know you stated using it in mesh bag more passive,than a reactor ,but wondering how much your using and how often your changing it out?
Having a mixed reef as well, I'm noticing a tougher balance between zoa/paly growth and sps color.I purchased a tlf reactor to run rox08 early winter and immediately noticed an improvement in sps color but it has become apparent that zoa/paly growth wise tends to slow down for me anyway.
FWIW-Thanks for the frags ,appreaciate it very much.Got some graditude frags for ya' Ill bring to the abcswap(rochester).The ones you sent are gorgeous and not frags at all more like colonies.Blown away by the goblets ,Ive never seen zoas with fringe like that,looks "hairy" or fuzzy with such long red fringe,very cool and unique.

Hey Steve, I run about a cup of ROX and change it once a month. I also run phosguard in a seperate bag and chamber and change that once every other month. I also dose stronium and molendium per the instructions on the bottle.
Your welcome for the frags!!!!Those zoas and palys grow wicked fast in my tank.

Thanks again for the kind words!!!!
