hum...who to tag...Bryan...Fishnerd...Don't be shy now!

 

[lzyreefguy]

very nice,tank is still amazing and i love the water slide of jedi mind trick,,whats the biggest change or morph you have noticed with the LED tim,,

 

[psykobowler]

Ditto. Will you please tell us your honest opinion regarding the LEDs?

 

[jthao]

Amazing as expected, awesome Tim!! I'm curious, What model number pump is running that atb beast? 1 or 2 pumps?

 

[ttanadi]

Tank is looking amazing as usual Tim.

 

[westreef]

Tim, I love your rock work with many caves. Beautiful corals too. Love to learn more about how you like your led/VHO hybrid lighting.

 

[tfp]

thanks everyone. regarding the LED's...I actually like them a lot. Visually, I have them matched to a Phoenix 14k. SPS are maintaining color and growth. However, I am randomly losing some sps to something else (think its water-related though). some of the sps will begin to peel (with color and polyps in tact!), some die completely, others only partly then begin recovering. in all the years I've been doing this, never seen anything like it

 

[robert s b.]

Awesome Tank Tim!

 

[NittyGritty]

Personally, the tank set up/equipment is most of the time more interesting and appealing to me. Often times I spend more time looking at someone's sump area more than their display tank
Even with nothing in actual display tank, I'm always still intersted in seeing the whole set up and all equipment!

 

[fishnerd]

Here are some pics:

Tank: leemar 60x24x20 corner overflow

Stand: I built myself (haven't made the doors yet)

Lighting: 60" ATI powermodule hybrid 4x75 watt LED 2x 80watt Actinic blue 2x 80watt fiji purple

Sump: Trigger systems 36" ruby elite

Skimmer: bubbleking mini 200 just switched it from a BK double cone 150

Return: ATB flowstar 1500

Circulation: Tunze 6255 x 2 one tunze went out so thats why there is a Jebao wp25 in the picture temporarily. Controlled by Tunze 7095 (cables are ran inside of the wall).

Controller: Profilux 3

Doser: Profilux 3 head doser CA/ALK/MG

Media reactor: vertex 1.5L filled with 1 cup ROX carbon and about 1/2 cup phosban run by Sicce 1.5

Frag section: hidden jebao RW4 and lit by Kessil 350

Top off: Avast marine pressure switch/ aqualifter pump

RODI: Tap water &#55357;&#56883;

Temp: 300 watt ebo jager (tank is kept at 75 degrees) hardly turns on. Profilux 5 fan breeze to chill tank but hardly turns on.

Maintenance: no schedule yet, I take water out to do tank transfers on my QT tanks at the moment.

The tank is currently empty due to a tragic mistake I made with a non QT'd fish. The tank has been fishless over 72 days now. The fish are due to be put back within the next few weeks.

In QT:
~3.5 bandit angel (in friends tank now)
Pair of 3" scribble angels
Pair of ~2" goldflakes
Indo regal angel
5 orchid dottybacks
Mc cullochs clown
Nigripes clown
Starcki damsel

Thats about it......JoshuaG you are up next!
