Agree with Sahin on the Led+T5 combo.

Tank looks beautiful.

I'll think about it

Hi guys,
Sorry for the disapeering, but a lot of things going on

First of all let me show you things are going...

As i told before i'm running 2 kessil A360W with the great bluefish controller in my 1200mm x 60mm x 60mm.
I'm happy with them but i think is not enough. So i'm having a lot of thoughts here. I hope you can help me and give me some help.
Sell my 2 kessil A360W and:
A: I have a friend selling their 2 vertex ilumina 360r 600mm each for nearly 70% of the price! Brand new
B: For the same price i can buy 2 ecotech radeon g3pro with reeflink.
C : Not sell my kessils and buy another 2.

Nearly prices:
A: 1650 € (selling my kessils for 600 €) 1050 €
B: 1500 € (selling kessils for 600 €) 900 €
C: 700 €

Hope you like all the news and help me.
Sorry about the frags rack but i will move it to the back.

I will post some more macro pics soon.

Regards.

Your tank looks great the way it is but if you feel you need more lights, I'd go with 2 more Kessils and get the new Kessil controller for $100.00.

HEllo,
After a few months with no news, here i am.
I had to change home so the aquarium sufered some changes.
The corals and the fishes lived in a bucket for 2 months with no major losses.
I have renewed the layout, the sump and add a refugium instead of the Zeolit reactor.
I'm pretty happy with it. Keep low nutrients and everything else stable.
Here some photos of the corals...
I'll put a FTS later...

Hope you like it.

Hi stapleton,
I left Kessil's behind. I think they are pretty nice but its nedded a lot of them to grow SPS's.
Now i'm running 3 OR's and i'm pretty satisfied. Nothing going wrong.
But i have to say, lights are only maybe 40% of the success. The rest is stability of the paramenters.
