    Nice colors under the T5s . Kinda makes me reconsider Metal Halide. Hehe.But a lot of it is the nice clear acrylic. Starfire is certainly on my wish list.

    Anyhoo I'm moving so I set up this 20 Gallon to house my corals temporarily.

    Maybe. I really like the clarity of starfire and acrylic.
    I'm skeered of small tanks though. I know I've goofed up the chemistry on the 180 more than once.

    Thanks it was bubble gum pink when I got it. It lost color and has come back mostly.
    This is what it looked like when I got it:

    Acans are know to lose color easy if you give them too much light and/or Lower Kelvins

    These are T5 2 ATI Aquablue+, UVL actinic white, ATI aqua blue special.

    No. I'm thinking about vodka though. I've been adding Korallin amino acids , kent m essentials.

    Gracias!

    That's a Teal Staghorn I got from Greg Hillers tank:

    It's more teal in real life. I would highly recommend if you can get one. It really stands out.
