20g nano led

Doug · #1 09-11-2011, 01:54 PM

Just took a few pics with my iphone to show my 20g. Basically its temp. until I move, with several sps frags and mostly, the home for my 11yr. old percs.

The light is the SWC Extreme LED fixture.

Simple tank with a AC 110 filter and my MP 20 Vortech. Still run with my RK2 controller.

I believe this is a milli of some type. Has shown good growth under the led and nice colour.

This tri colour came from a small 2mm piece broken from another colony of a friend. Its now about 4in across, with multiple shoots growing and intense colour.

These and others never did that great under my 150w HQI for some reason, esp. colour wise. I have a piece of a brown stag that was almost completely dead. Never did have much colour, even as a huge colony in Mike,s tank under all his halides. Its now coming back, with nice bushy growth and baby blue tips.

So working fine for now. Fixture is a foot over the tank and corals are not that deep in the 20g, so take it for what its worth.

I can shoot much better pics with my Sony if needed.

Think I better get my camera and take a decent pic of the tri colour.

It at least gives the idea. The coral started from just one of those tiny tips.

Looks nice! Where are the Percs? Do you find it difficult to take pics under the LED lights? I have a heck of a time.

They hiding in the back, in their pvc condo. Same place they have lived since babies. Dont venture out much if they have a batch of eggs. I will get a new pic of them when feeding perhaps, although most the time they stay in the back and wait for the food to come that way.

Only pics so far have been iphone, so no lighting problems with them. No more light problems than with my stupid 150w Phoenix. Need to get my camera out.

You do indeed have some great color there! When and where are you moving?
