Nice. Do you like the 10k's better? And I thought you only had blue corals! :wink:

:lol:

hows the flow on your tank with those two tunzes inside
awesome corals by the way

Great pics Steve. Nice corals.

Thanks,

Jack, I have always liked the 10K to 13K range better than the higher K bulbs as I think the radiums and such make everything look to blue. the only issue I have with the 10K SA bulbs is I am used tot he 10K AB's which are a little more blue but still look white. I am slowly getting used to the sligh green tinge of the SA10K bulbs.

Props, my tank is only 3 foot long so with a bit of a sand bed I can aim the tunze how I would like to. if anyone knows how to remove a sand bed with out removing the rock let me know :mrgreen: other than that I love the tunze, massive water movement with little power.

Steve

Right on. Have you tried any Ushio 10k's before?

All these were started from frags pretty much, right?

no I haven't tried the Ushio's at all. most of them were from frags the others small colonies.

Steve

hey steve when you first picked up your tunzes how did your acro's react to it? did they slimed up and closed up or their polyps extended like mad


thanks

Steve try a shop vac on the DSb to take it out .

mike

there is sand under the rock :rolleyes: I am ripping the tank apart soon, I have to pressure wash the rock.. maybe I will just stick them in the dishwasher. :mrgreen:

Steve

Great looking pics as usual Steve. :cool:

:confused: How come??

in the last month and a bit I have been run over with a red hair algae. looks fluffy kinda like cotton candy. but it is affecting a couple corals so I am planning a day or two to remove all the rock.. most of the water, pull the sand bed, clean the rock and put it back together.

I am tempted to try a sea hair and a boat load of blue hermits first though... like 50 to 70 of the little buggers.

Steve - very nice photos, I mean tank. BTW what kind of ballast do you use ot run your 10K SA? Would PFO TAR do the trick, or should I go for PFO HQI.

Tank
 

Nice healthy tank.. Steve..

Do you perform water changes weekly ?

Steve what 16K lamp were yo using and do you have any pics with it running?
