!!!!*BIG UPDATE*!!!! (Pg 4-5) Adrian's Nano LED reef

how do you like the par30, or is it a 38? could you tell me how you like it i probably am getting one for my nano as well.

 

i love it par38 7 bulb, its great! definitely go for it.

 

well i was told the par38 would fry all the coral and to go with a par30. do you agree? ill probably get the par30 and lamp clamp from boostled.

 

i mean if thats what your worried about, you can raise it up higher from the tank. i will admit i saw some color reccesion from my montipora the first day i turned the lights on, but hes actually grown since then. i've had two new heads pop up on my paly, 7+ on one zoa colony, and 5 on another, and thats without any food.

 

thanks for the input, i think ill probably go par30 wince my tank is like a third smaller than yours i think itll be more than sufficient

 

new addition, i traded it in for my monster toadstool, but im not really sure what it is, other then a short tentacle plate coral. and i also picked up a piece of dry base reef rock, not sure where to place it though.

edit: for some reason, my camera cant pick up the intense purple striped mouth.

 

I have a plate as well. Mine is a kinda plain green but has a bright orange mouth. I'd like to get a long tentacle one but I read alot of mixed reviews on them as far as care level & life span.

 

just move the bulb up rite ?

 

is mine "plain" green? he hasnt fully expanded IMO compared to what i saw at the LFS. also they have on in there DT, it doesnt look too good, even though they have more demanding species like sea apples.

thats what i was saying, really 2 bulbs plus more output is worth 30$ more. just make sure its the same brand i got, other wise they run 120+

just a heads up

 

Just an update for whoever wants to look.

Since the last post, I traded in my toadstool, bought Orange Rhodactis, bought a sixline wrasse, added rock, my Monti Cap got stung by aiptasia an bleached, so I kept the skeleton for structure. My mantis has molted twice and is much bigger.
