I like the fact that you can change your light spectrum through-out the day via programming... I know the whole LED thing is kinda new (to me)and all but it does look brighter than the IceCap MH fixture that it replaced...Now that it's hung I'll throw the PAR (thanks Ken) meter under it and see what it says (1300-2300K)...TBC

I also have an Ecoxotic LED fixture on my 24" cube and a ReefTech on the way so it will be interesting to compaire them all side by side.

The water colour reminds me of looking down into the indian ocean in the Maldives just before the sun really starts to set.





Excellent colour temp! whats the settings?

I can't believe how much coralline has grown in one month....There isn't a speck of white rock visible now.

You have no idea how jealous that makes me!

What do you attribute this to? Was it just really good live rock that you seeded the dry rock with, or was there more to it?

Where did you get the live rock that you seeded the tank with?

The seeding live rock came from my other tanks, I started with roughly a one to one ratio (100lb LR to 100lb Marco rock) and have been slowly removing the seed rock. I have been running the calcium reactor with ARM and ZeoMag, with a steady stream of afluent... other than that nothing out of the ordinary.
