John's 75 Last picture

Oh. Got it What lights are you running?

 

I have 4 x 54W T5HO 28" above the sand. I have 97% efficient reflectors and 100% power ballasts. Blue Pluses are on 10 hours and the Coral Pluses are on 8 hours. The CP come on one hour after the blues come on.

 

Great info Thanks!

 

Well, 2 in 10, your tank continues to inspire. It's a work of art! Absolutely gorgeous! I love that you run T5's.

 

Thank you very much. I am considering going to LED for their cost savings but keeping going back and forth on their effectiveness. Just not sure on how dialled in the industry is on our needs.

 

I having the same issue. With this being said, some of the guys in the local reef club are having pretty good success with them. I think, with the right layout, leds are extremely effective.

 

Went back to the beginning of your build thread. Huge difference from the beginning at post #87 when you first filled it with water. A lot of good work, there.

 

That is where I am at, trying to figure out the right configuration.

Thanks much Jerry

 

New corals to the mix from Battlecorals. They came well packaged and with a heat pack. Each frag was double bagged and then all were placed in another bag. Popcorn was placed around the bag to fill in the spaces in an insulated shipping box. I placed this order a couple weeks ago but they were not shipped until the weather was warmer, above single digit lows. I had lots of emails sent to me to keep me up to date.

These pics are after less than a hour in my tank. PE continues to get better.
