GQLMAO's Small Peninsula Tank

[mrhasan]

I gotta visit your house sometime with my sps clipper Stanley Those are some crazy stuffs you got there

Which ATI did you order? I ordered my dimmable one (couldn't resist lol) last week

When I have some frags I will definitely let you know hopefully in a couple of months. I have some wild growers, they grow like weed. The expensive stuff takes forever to grow... I got the 8 bulb dimmable, concept gave me a deal I couldn't resist The fixture will sit flush with the tank, since the tank is 18 inches wide. I will have some light flood but it's something I can live.

8 bulbs?! That would be way too overkill for a 14" high tank isinit? I got myself the 6 bulb since I thought 8 bulbs would be too much for my acans and some other LPS that I might keep down the road.

It will be fine, the dimmable fixtures will be helpful in that respect. I run my radion at almost 90 percent right now, the pieces near the top aren't really showing any signs of bleaching, all about the properly acclimating the corals. I have no LPS in the tank so I am not too worried about excessive lighting.

Do you know rehypes tank? it was a 24x24x9 high, it was running 6 bulbs + 2 led strips.

Yah dimmable after all 90% on that tank; man your corals are hungry color sticks!

Well I got my new lights in! What a difference compared to the Radion. I do miss the sleekness of the Radion and the moonlight settings, I am willing to sacrifice them for this new light Thanks to Dave, Denny and Matt at concepts for getting me such a nice toy.

Wow, very nice! Makes me want to switch to all T5s too! You'll find that photographing under the T5s is A LOT easier too :-)

.. I do miss my ATI Powermodule.

Yes sir! I don't miss the LEDs at all... Just kidding the T-5s are too bulky if that is one complaint I have. Photography is very nice under T-5 I don't have to shut off my pumps, nor worry about discoball effects. Very uniform and I love how it looks when I stand back in a dark room.

Had some time for some quick pics! The corals are still getting used to the lighting, I am starting to see color changes in a couple SPS pieces. The surprising part is I don't even have the light running more than 3 hours!! It's been rough trying to get the corals use to the T5s, they are so powerful.

This one is actually neon yellow:
