Sorry to hear about your issues :-(
I am digging your 'less is more' look though. |
Very sorry to hear about your loss. You're taking it a lot better than I would... Goes to show it can happen to even the best... And thanks for sharing your challenges, and any lessons learned.

its been a hard few weeks , im pro qt but always end up taking the risk in my experience i should have known better but i do end up making the wrong choices sometimes too so ill chalk it up to a lesson learned.it was a violent strain of MI that took the fish out , it acted fast and with in a week it was here and gone and left its path of destruction on my fish. right now we are going to enjoy the summer and im busy with the new store opening in aug so i have the ability to go fallow untill fall in which case we are deciding what to do with the tank as far as livestock is concerned. the qt will stay running in case we decide to add any new fish and they will go for the same treatment as my current fish are getting. 3 wks in qt so far and everyone is doing amazing no signs of ich or any parasites but they have a ways to go still. cheers denny |
Crappy

Nice collection of corals! I need a piece of that yellow gorg please!
|
Great pics Denny.
Nice collection. But I expect that as you always had a good eye for nice stuff. Interesting scape too! |
Those pieces of SPS look good Denny. I don't know where you will find room for them in your tank as it looks pretty packed.. but knowing you, you will find a spot. haha

Denny I know it's in this thread somewhere but what's lighting this bad boy again? Is it Mitras? That colour progression is siiiiiiiick.

honestly the colors in my display are horrid, drab and makes me puke....i think im done with leds by them selves,and am looking into the ati hybrid as a replacement. |

2 weeks actually :P thanks buddy finally sps is doing good for me , my dislay kills or browns them out immediately , cant figure out why , my fragtank on the other hand is growing zoos at a rate ive never had before and sps is full color and growing fast , ive had my poker star montis encrust the plugs they are on in a week and go from a brown blob to the nice rainbow color they are now , within a few weeks they should be neon green only with a blue base:):) flow rate in the frag tank is: 7 x koralia 1400's 2 x koralia 1050's mag 7 return pump so lots of flow and lots of light , i also dont feed this tank.....no skimmer either ...au' natural but do run a fuge with cheato and lots of liverock currently using zeovit amino acids zeovit sponge power zeovit coral vitalizer |

thats actually part my issue , display has fish and a regular source of pollution while the frag tank stays low nutrients and doesnt get any pollution added so i believe its a natural low nutrient without the use of carbon source:) titus i agree growth is good under the leds but the colors make me sick lol:P |
because of your post I watched some Youtube videos of the ATI powermodule. Duuuuude. So sweet. That's my next light.

lots of good review on rc for the ati's i havent seen one in person or used one but its peaked my interest. leds are def good but its hard to get a color i like with my pros:) |
Yah the number one reason I went with LEDs was the level on controllability, it looks like you get all that and a piece of cake with the ATIs. I've had issues with colour as well, I find the LEDs are really difficult for some corals to adapt to, and I've watched in sadness as the metallic sheen of some corals slowly fades to a dull base colour in my tank. I know it's not just how the lights make the colours appear to me, because the coral will have the really psychedelic, metallic look that made me want to buy it in the first place for the first 5-7 days in my tank, but something in the radions is not encouraging the coral to keep producing that colour and it always fades over time. The worst was a blue tipped, green bodied stag acro. When I got it (previously grown in a T5 tank), the green body looked like metallic car paint, now it's just a dull green.
On the other hand, I have a purple bonsai valida that went insane under the LEDs, it almost hurts to look at it it glows so brightly. Perhaps a hybrid fixture will create the best of both. |
got it july 28th
