Old 55g fresh turned salt

I had this old 55g tank for close to 10 years trying out fresh water fish. It's been sitting in my basement for two years with nothing in it so this January I decided to take up a new hobby! yup saltwater! Here are the most recent pics the tank has been running for 1 month and 2 weeks now. ( i think lol)

 

Thats a very nice looking set up Los1980

what light unit is that you have above it, it looks very sleek and also like it puts out a lot of light based on the image

thanks! I was intimidated to take this hobby up but now it's become addictive i love it!

The lights are marineland reef capable LED's with moonlight.

they certainly look very good over that tank

I read through the thread, I remember that one, just did not recognise the fixture

a review of this would be interesting, so if you have time, a seperate thread in the reviews or even the lighting section would be useful

I would love to! but i'm a newb all I know is I love them so far. Give me examples of questions most Reefers would like answered regarding these lights and I'll gladly post up my review and experience with the lights.

 

a review thread
just means you post some pictures and explain what the product is
and your feelings about it - dont worry about the technical side as such for now

things to cover would be
Images of the unit
description of what you get
heat?
quality of light - aesthetics rather than measured output
how the unit fixes - legs or as you have hanging kit

just an overall view of the unit, and how your feel about it, is fine for a review
any specification information you can get from the literature supplied or packaging is a bonus

Ok will have one up by this weekend! working on a research proposal for school... i come on here to take breaks lol.

 

Hey Steve here's a quick review of the marineland reef capable LED system I picked up roughly 3 months ago.

If the video is crappy (like it was for me) let me know if you guys have trouble viewing and i'll upload it to youtube or something.

 

Your tank looks good! Sun coral is beautiful.

 

Thanks man! I have a lot more now! Added a fox coral, frog spawn a few zoos and a nice big leather.
