Beautiful fishies!

Mrfish55 10-28-2009 05:48 PM

Finally got the lights the way I want, 2x175w Venture bulbs/Lumenmax reflectors and 6' VHO run by Icecap660 (1x10k and 1x super actinic) all attached to frame I welded up, the wires for the end caps run on the inside of the tubing for clean look. I wanted to make it brite and bring out the color in the fish without overdoing it and encouraging algae growth, so far I am happy with the look.

Anem and clowns from Marie settled in nice.

Nice job on the lighting. The best thing about a FOWLR, (besides the fish), is no heat issues with the lighting.

It also helps to have 1000 gallons of water! takes a bit to raise or lower the temp, I am finding no temp change at all with the lights set up the way they are.

I am quite pleased with the lighting and the light rack turned out real nice, once finished off most of the wires will be completely hidden.

Thanks, now if only I can convince the camera to take a pic worthy of the tank.

You should have stuck around for the show, it was priceless. They have settled in nice and I think being in the presence of much larger fish has humbled her a bit, the solitary Ocellaris that was hanging out at that end of the tank decided to re join the rest of the group, they won't leave the nem except when it's feeding time. The nem has moved to the back side of the tank up high between the rocks, I will leave it to find a spot it is happy with.

They are on the left side of the tank on the back side, hopefully it moves out front but it makes no difference to me as I spend just as much time in the back as I do out front. I should try to get a shot of the angel when he/she is front and center, actually looks smaller in the pics due to the depth of the tank (all rockwork is 3' away from front panel to leave lots of swimming room)
