my 55 gallon is going salty!

I'm pretty close to dumping my M58 ballasts on ebay and buying a pair of IceCap 175W & a pair of Iwasaki 15k's. I've got that combination on my 29 gallon at home and it's a super bright crisp white, just wish it had a little more blue. I think it'd work fine on a 55 gallon, and I'm on the verge of going in that direction.

 

I've decided to stay with the ballasts I've got. Also, attached is a pic I just took with NO T12 actinics.

 

I really dig your rockwork

 

Thanks!

I found my digital camera, no more crappy phone pics. I've attached a new & better pic.

 

Processing ~3ppm NH3 in 24 hrs., NO2 has been at least 5ppm (as high as my API test goes) since Tuesday, pH is holding at around 8.4. I'm keeping the temp at around 81 degrees. Keep on truckin'!

 

Canopy construction is underway.

 

Nitrites are down to 0.25...any day now...

 

Great progress, when I upgrade I'm probably going to go with 2 x 250, but I need a fixture because no canopy. It will be good when I upgrade tank size too. Your tank looks good.

 

Thank you, sir!

Here's a couple of pics of the sump with the new fuge light...awaiting delivery of some chaeto.

Also, nitrites are at zero today.

 

This looks good, I dont like pics with actinics, they look cool to the eye but in pics they dont do corals and things much justice..unless you gotta real hihg end camera..........nice tank though...keep up the good work....I wanna see it stretched out in corals and some fish........Im still in the market for affordable lights if ya got any lead....
