Cheers man, its 150x75x50cm, I went with the 4bulb fixture as I thought the 8 bulbs would eliminate the shimmer and with the 420W of T5 and 225W of LED actullay more power than the 540W of T5 im currently running.

All Rod and I do right is drink lots of beer :lol2:

Ok so i had preordered and paid for the ATI 4x54W led but the place i ordered with went bust and i lost my money....

I ended up buying the 8x54w version which i recieved a few months back. Its pretty cool being able to ramp up and down the lighting. It is however significantly harder to take pics.

I had to remove a few peices some from TN and others for room, i will do a proper update in the coming weeks but i got this for now.

yeah it sucked hard, the guy is a total douche, ripped off so many ppl and was still advertising/selling stock after he had shut to rip more ppl off.

yes im still using zeo
 
Hey Ryan how is the tank doing? I read on the MASA forum, so many others lost money too. Hope your tank is doing well. Update would be nice.

Hi Sahin,

The good news is i got a refund on the ATI
The bad news I went on holiday for 2 weeks and all my fish died (except for a blue tang i was trying to catch for 6 months) this lead to some coral losses and a hair algae outbreak :-(

here are some recent coral shots from my phone during WC.

That sucks about the holiday disaster Ryan, sorry things went south with the tank while you were away :( How is everything coming along now mate - the teal is a little stunner btw.
