Well I added a 2 bulb T5 fixture to supplement the MH. I just haven't liked the color with just the MH's. Too white even abit yellowish. I find the coral colors somewhat dull.
T5's have added some much needed blue...perhaps abit too much and I will play with the bulb choices later. But...I am much happier with the colors. The coral colors appear much brighter and the greens, even oranges are much brighter. Ofcourse I have a hard time trying to capture the true colors with my camera settings but this does basically show the difference. (Thanks Kev for getting me a fixture so quickly!) Just realized my GSP rock fell down in the back when I looked at the pics...damn...guess I gotta go get wet to fix it... Here's a couple before and after pics: before http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r...an21T50002.jpg after http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r...an21T50003.jpg before closer http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r...an21T50004.jpg after closer http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r...an21T50008.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r...an21T50011.jpg |
Looks good Carmen. It`s tough with the curved glass finding a light that you`re happy with as nothing fits quite right. All my SPS are a bit in the shade in the front where you see them the most, thus not as nice of colours. Speaking of which, when you getting those SPS....:biggrin:

Thanks Scott. I will try a couple sps...soon...:wink: Having abit of a cyano issue and still wanting to add another K4 for more flow so perhaps after that I'll throw in an easy sps or something and see how it goes! I modded 2 of my Koralia 3's to increase the output some. I think it helped but am still needing more. I definately have alot of space on top to fill, don't I?:smile: |
Carmen,
I have an extra Koralia powerhead, I think it is a 5. It is rather big though. Leah |
Great photo's, I like the blue glow as well, its Girly!!! :biggrin:

Ya sort of a feminine kick to the reef tank experience!:lol::wink: (How big are the K5's? Maybe that would be perfect? I'll look into them ok) |
Looks great Carmen, like the aquascaping. Do you want to come do mine in the new tank when it is ready, lol. It's only 18" deep & 22" wide so you should be able to reach all of it without a ladder,lol. Oh ya I did tell you it was 8' long.

Ya it will be cool, have to figure out how i am going to do it. Need to figure out if I am going to use pcv pipe or acyrlic rod's to keep the rock where I want it. How did you do your's? Is it just stacked?
I see you have a flame angel, am I right. I would like to have one, is there any thing I should know about them? Are they reef safe and compatable with the fish i already have? |
