Tochtli Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 That's a nice scape you got there! How's that hawkfish doing with your shrimp? And what light are you running? Link to comment
Kongor88 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 That's a nice scape you got there! How's that hawkfish doing with your shrimp? And what light are you running? Thank you! My hawk hasn't touched any of my shrimp and I just added a baby fire shrimp couple days ago. It didn't show any aggression as it sank to the bottom. For lights I currently have the buildmyled.com 14k reef spectrum and super actinic reef spectrum, both 48" running 60 LEDs each. I love em dont get too hot, easy to setup, you can buy a manual dimmer/use apex. The company just put out a bunch of new spectrums and now you can get them in black instead of silver plus they added dimming to channels, currently I can only dim the whole fixture, not a select channel of LEDs.

Tochtli Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I've been looking around for someone who actually uses BML fixtures. They look like solid fixtures, but they're pretty new so reviews are few and far apart. Do you get any disco ball effect with those? Link to comment
wimby Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Tank looks good! Yay for a sump! I have one ( bml) over my 20gl. The corals in there seem to be growing the fastest out of my 3 tanks. No disco ball effect that I can see Link to comment
Kongor88 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 thanks wimby, it was alot of work still finishing up adding reactors/ato this week and cleaning up but it looks so much better in the DT.
