xeell Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 After 4 days I added the surviving corals of my desktop tank. Enjoy, more pictures will follow! Link to comment
xeell Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 And the next pictures after 14 days of running time: This is Nils, my Blenny from my old desktop tank...did not know where to put him, so he has to wait for a new home. But he seems to be happy with the situation. Please feel free to comment! Kind regards, Xeell Link to comment
lljdma06 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 How do you like the light so far and where did you get it? I just read the blog on NR about it. Sounds pretty awesome. L Link to comment
xeell Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi lljdma06, I bought the light directly from http://www.zetlight.com/ just write an email to them and they will surely answer you fast and friendly! The light is absolutely awesome, it comes with a remote control and is dimmable in 5 steps. Blue and white / red / green are separately dimmable. And it has cloudmode / flashmode, no joke Regards, Xeell Link to comment
frags4life Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looks good so far , what other corals do u plan on stocking it with? Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Nice looking tank. I tried to keep a clam in my Spec a long time ago, but didn't have any luck. It's going to require a lot of water changing to keep your calcium high enough. Not that doing a water change in a spec takes much more than 15 minutes. I'm curious to see if you have better luck than I did. That light looks awesome. I might consider changing the light on my spec to one of those! Link to comment
GHO5T Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Welcome to the SPEC club! Really awesome looking set up and stocking you have there. ...and that light... yummy.... I might look into getting that my self. Link to comment
xeell Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hey guys, thank you for your compliments. @frags4life: I plan to keep mostly LPS and SPS @Islandoftiki: I got the clam with around 4-5cm and now it has 6-7cm and I kept it in my 20L desktop tank, so no problem until now @GHO5T: thank you, had to wait long until the fluval spec 3 came to germany... Kind regards, Xeell Link to comment
xeell Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hey again, for all of you, who are interested in the light, i made some photos.

L I just inquired into the pricing from them yesterday and it's about $73 shipped. Really fast response. I will probably upgrade to this from my EcoPico. Only part I'm not comfortable is they located in Hong Kong and will only accept a direct transfer through bank account. I'll just bite the bullet anyway. Link to comment

I'll just bite the bullet anyway. I'm already ordering some products from them. If you want me to order it for you we can split some of the wire fee's and stuff, PM me. Link to comment
xeell Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Great to hear, that you guys have the same passion for the light as I do Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wow that's not a bad price at all for that light. Too bad I just ordered from ledtric. Link to comment
xeell Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 You could cancel your order Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Haha. Nah, I think I can get more versatility from the one I ordered. Link to comment
xeell Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi guys / gals, some new (stunning?) pictures for you! What is that?: Algae: Ricordea: And at least big surprise: Dead stone coral: Alive!!! Kind regards, Xeell Link to comment
saltman123 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tank is looking good. I'm waiting on my 4 galllon tank,and this same LED light to show up. Question, was your live rock cured before you received it, or all live? Definitely lots of great coraline and hitchhiker stuff on there. If anyone is interested in one of these LED light setups PM me, I ordered a few extra to offset the wire transfer fee of $45 alone, and the high costs of shipping. If anyone is interested i'll have a few extra to ship soon. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Nice tank and light, disappointing to see that it uses 10k whites, do you if the leds are cree? Link to comment
xeell Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hey, sorry that I have to correct you, but the white LEDs are 12000K color temperature. Kind regards, Xeell Link to comment

xeell Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi guys, time has passed and I have some news regarding my tank. Impressions: I have moved to another city, so the tank had to move with me Something terrible happened with Aqua Medic Reef Construct: Then I decided to try a reef pottery. Just some pictures: Then of course I needed a protein skimmer, so I decided to build one: Finally my reef pottery arrived and I started with salt and sand: After 3 hours it looked like this: Then I started to move corals and inverts to the new tank: Today (day 2): Link to comment
Willis5 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey I am thinking about getting the zetlight nano, did you corals do fine and healthy. Also what types did you grow? Link to comment
