    i can imagine how the variation in lighting across the tank would be a nice effect, probably hard to really do it justice in photos.

    its pretty crazy how young the led tech seems to be still. i'm sure in a couple more years you'll be able to look back and laugh saying "lol remember those horrible old skool led setups!"
    probably not a bad idea to wait if what you already using obviously works well

    Hey Tatted. I've looked through your thread before, but I can't remember...what are you dosing? Just calcium and magnesium?

    lighting on this is great.... not a plain one solid color

    the par 38 lamp spotlights area making your eyes draw to em.

    definitely will wait for the right leds to come out to replace my mh's

    using esv products. ca, alk and mg

    What I meant to say is how tall is your tank hood

    Thank You, the re-do is finally at the point where im ahead of the first go around.

    It may not be fully stocked.... but everything else is complete. Layout of all equipment with no upgrades in mind.

    I removed the left shelf... condensing everything in my right cabinet. No refugium. Relying on good skimming, 15% bi weekly water changes, and Ecobak.

    I really like the side view it allows me to have.

    I have had some down fall with my tank and now it has have fully rebounded.

    Water chemistry as of now is great. Staying steady and right where things need to be at.

    Pictures are needed.

    Sweet lighting setup. A quick question.....Can you see any difference when both metal halides are on, and you turn on the reefbrites? I cant on my tank, so I only run them before and after the MH are on. If you can, maybe it's the bulbs you are running. Anyway sweet job on your lighting.
