Parker's 265 Build - Thread Retired

The edges are a bit underlit. It took me a while to find that mondo stag on the left. Your tank is huge! Even with that bucket sized colony it looks lost in there. It seems that you're getting really good polyp extension already. That's awesome. If you need anything else, just let me know.

Some pics from today,

All three lights running again..


Peaches & Cream


I need to find a better place for this one


Bucket sized, doesn't really look like it in the tank though.

Looks good. Go easy on the lighting period because remember, many of those corals you got from me were shaded so you gotta ease them into full lighting. Your lights are 400 watts as well, so you don't wanna shock em.

Thanks for confriming my thoughts... when I put everything I backed my lighting down to 5 hours per day for the next little while. I haven't noticed any bleaching yet, I've been keeping a good eye out for it.

Hey Chris,

The two outside bulbs are IceCap 10k and the middle one is Icecap 14k

400w 10k? Wow be careful lol.

How are you mounting those colonies? None came with rock still attached I'm assuming. It's going to be pretty tricky but it looks like you've managed to attach some already... wedged the rest?
