Rod's Gyre flow, Natural light, SPS dominated Reef

[Rod the Reefer]

Hi Alan,

The Majestic is great. I've had him for about 2 years now.

As far as how he is with corals and clams, he's a model citizen. I don't have any soft corals, morphs or zoanthids in this tank, but he doesn't touch the Sps, Lps, clams or even Acans.

I have a friend who had a very well behaved Majestic and I bought mine from the same supplier, hoping I'd get a good one too, which I did!

He was a bit shy at first, but now he is out most of the time.

Very cool fish!

Rod. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rod - the Majestic is now firmly on my list - fingers crossed I can get one that's as well behaved as yours!

Cheers,

Alan

Hey Rod, how about a FTS update?

I finally got my sun powered set-up off the ground....please have a look at my build thread. Contemplating when I should start supplementing with T5/MH's to get some color out of those corals.

Update???

 

[biecacka]

rod can you explain how the "grye" water motion is working out for you? also could it be accomplished with powerheads?

Any updates ?

 

[franklinnt1]

Any updates? Your tank is amazing!!!

 

[Rod the Reefer]

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates!

Life has been a bit of a challenge over the last couple of years, there's been a few ups and downs but life goes on.

Even though I haven't been updating my journal I have been looking after my tank.

I have replaced the metal halides with LED lights, so now there's LED, T5 & sunlight.

Anyway on with the photos;

Finally a pic taken by a friend, I love it!

Wow! I think I read ur thread a couple of years ago and I thought it was amazing then. Thanks for the update and I must say tank still looks amazing if not better.

What do you think of the LED's over the MH's?

 

[Rod the Reefer]

Thanks guys.

When I changed to LED's I expected a negative reaction from the corals, which didn't happen.

I checked the PAR of my 150w Mh's and the LED's were very similar.

I've had them a few years now and am very happy with them.

They are only basic lights without all the programmable storms, lightning etc, which I like. For my taste though it needs a few T5's to add in a bit of colour, especially red/pink.
