Kracers' 90 gallon Reef Tank

Thank you. It is a never ending work in progress.

 

Nice looking tank. Do you mind posting the specs on your LED setup? How long have you been running it and what's your take on LEDs? I'm considering building one with the cree LEDs but so far I've been reading mixed reviews.

 

I have been running these LEDs for about 2 years now. So far I have been getting some pretty good results. I have 2 of the 144 watt fixtures from www.smgsllc.com they are a very simple fixture that have been working very well for me. I have had fairley good luck growing just about anything I have put into the tank as long as I give them a week or 2 at the bottom and slowly move them up to my desired position. I have never used MH lighting or full T5ho lighting to compare growth with so I cannot give specifics as far as that is concerned, but just about anything I put in the tank seems to do good as long as it is not something dumb that I did causing problems.

 

Its been a little while since I posted some updated tank pics and I just picked up 4 nice new corals so I thought I would share them with everyone.

A couple random shots

 

My 4 new corals, just picked them up last night. I have them on the bottom of the tank so they could get used to the Led lighting. I have found that I need to keep most corals on the bottom of the tank for about a month before moving them up slowley to keep them from bleaching out.

 

that plate coral is amazing. amazing..

 

Thanks ;D the thing grows like a weed. The piece that is in the center started out as a pen diameter piece that fell into the rocks when I was trimming down the piece on the left and just took off. I really can't believe how fast it grows.
