Seen a nice open brain in that tank Denny caught my eye for sure . Looks good !

Hows the new fish?:wink:

must have been the ultra rainbow welsphyllia , my fave lps in the tank and an eye catcher for sure so i have it right up front and center:)


the rabbit is great the hogfish is yet to come out but he has 400g of hiding places to hide so im not worried lol the other candy hog is like that too he hides for a few days and then just " pops" out one afternoon lol

cheers and thanks guys

Mitras powered! Loving it ;)

Love that tank.
You got to find the aqua-scape sexy:biggrin:,...Who ever said only women love rocks
is wrong as I think all reefers love rocks too as stated through everyone's tanks.
Tell Dave I am coming over tomorrow to finalize my tank dimensions and bug him a bit...:biggrin:

put on line today the bio pellet reactor

water test results are perfect right across the board but my alk is declining a bit so im about to set up the doser and keep these stable, trying to keep ahead of the game:)

also 4th ghl is about to go up shortly , we will see if a 5th is needed....im hoping not lol

I would gladly accept your rocks for any type of special occasion lol

some more pics i took this morning:)

tanks getting full lol

cheers

looking good denny! i wouldn't mind a piece of that duncan... haven't seen any available in so long!

and holy crap destroy neomeris annulata while you can! took me forever to beat it down in my 400 and the stuff sucks calcium.

would like to for sure but i dont think 10g's is in the budget for lights lol

yeah grows fast , hitch hiked on some liverock i got in and is doing quite well unfortunately lol

brett im hoping to have aussie corals and clams coming before xmas , permits for clams are good to go just waiting for corals to clear:)

im told about 1 week from now so fingers crossed it gets here soon.

duncans will be on that order and whatever else aussie is famous for lol

cheers

denny:)

and heres a top down video i took today :)

hope you all enjoy:)

cheers

video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL8LL...ature=youtu.be

nice video BUT you guys had wrecking ball playing the last time i was in. matt said "at least it's not taylor shift". while i can see his point i'm starting to think that wasn't the radio i was hearing...

well time for an quick update:)

added some more fish and lost some corals...added some corals and the circle continues lol

will snap some pics and a video this afternoon once i get her cleaned up and looking sharp:)

cheers

denny

About time you cleaned that baby up :p lol

it gets cleaned up once a week lol you just come in on the last day before cleaning:P

well time for an update:P


the tank has seen some ups and downs as with any new tank but finally got it back on track.

i lost most of the sps, dealt with some hidden nutrients and mixed with a bout of AEFW and monti nudis i pulled what was left out , so now i guess im all lps and zoas lol


the biopelllets have finally established and the gfo is keeping the rest down so all algae has disappeared and im doing 93g water changes once a week , after a bit longer i will switch to once every two weeks.

i am dosing alk and calcium as well as mg constantly and have finally found a dose that keeps it stable. dosing calcium chloride, soda ash as well mag(mix of sulphate and chloride)

i doubt i will add much back for sps i did keep a small red planet acro in there as well as a yellow millie but the rest got pulled.

i am now back in the stocking stages and have added a bunch of highend zoanthids , mostly one and two polyp frags so time will be needed to notice them lol

i recently added another ghl and then lowered them down 4" from where they were before , seems to have a positive effect. the new ghl is a 6100 while the other three are a 6200 i have some tinkering to do as far as visual color goes lol

i also did the skirting on the stand we went with black 12" x12" tiles trimmed with schluter and the doors are gloss black acrlyic that will have a peel and stick vinyl sticker with concepts compant logo on it:)

10" blonde naso tang
7" male blue throat trigger
4" chocolate tang(scopas)
4" powder brown tang

SURLY

hes come quite the way eh hes doing great these days and even battles it out with the big fish for food lol :)

Looks good. Should fill out nicely

Well, this should put that LED "can't grow SPS" debate to rest.

Can't wait to check this out in person.

We also gave up on the GHL Mitras for our SPS system. Just not enough PAR to keep them well colored.

Currently swapping them out for 400w 20k Radium MH. :mrgreen:

yeah im having a hell of a time finding a color that i like that the corals like as well , i have something down now and the corals seem to be loving the spectrum but i personally hate the color.

my sps issue was more of poor reefer practise and we wanted an instant sps tank so dipping got skipped, i knew better but it is what it is . first came the nudis for montipora then ended in a AEFW bout.

as far as leds go period theres none that i really like , seems if you play with the colors to something that is visually appealing the corals suffer.

i had to drop the mitras down another 4" but seems to bleach lps easily enough , my chalices arnt happy at all but everything else has finally come around:)


cheers


denny

Ya he looks good if i knew i was upgrading and that he wouldn't have to be hand fed i probably would've kept him but he looks so happy in his new/old home.:biggrin::lol::razz:

400w Radium give off a lot less PAR then the GHL Mitras I dont think it can be done. where you lamps on 100%

Xenon, this would be an absolute first, your systems are very new on the scheme of things I highly doubt in 12" water you have PAR issues when tanks 3 times that depth are turning their lamps down due to burning corals.

Even a commercial system

Mitras system in 30" of water

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3683/1...438469db_b.jpg

I can show you proof of my PAR readings if you would like. Acro's need more than 150-200 PAR to color up.

I would rather keep the Mitras than swap them out for older technology but they just don't work to color up SPS due to low PAR (too much light spread).

I have spent enough time with them to know for sure.

I can assure you the brightness of a 400w Radium completely blows away the GHL Mitras with all color channels @ 100%.

:pop2:

i would love to see the results as i find them dim to the eye but obviously they bleach lps pretty easily if at a higher intensity.

Hiya Dan, I really am confused, not one person globally has ever said the PAR is too low in fact the opposite, here are some independent tests

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...y_ri/019-3.jpg

I think user SPS photos say a lot also.

http://test.reefcentral.com/forums/s...219645&page=30

I really have no idea why your PAR meter would read so low to be honest, but good luck with the Radiums 400's hope they work out for you.
