Default Lighting upgrade
So I changed my hamilton 250 DE hood to lumenmax reflectors with 250w mogul bulbs on my HQI ballasts

Does anyone know where I can get fish sunglasses? Too much light maybe?




The lights aren't quite as bright as it shows in the pic but they are still prety bright

You don't need scissors, I have frags laying all over the sand bed waiting for someone to come and take them home

I'm using the 10k xms and right now I have no actinics. I'm actually really liking the colour, it's very white. Hopefully it won't change too drastically when the bulbs burn in

ooooops, I woke up this morning to a tank full of pastel corals, I tried to acclimate them slowly but I guess it wasn't slow enough .
