Funkateer_1 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 what kind of lights are you using? 6 T5s and an LED strip. Not a big fan of LED's... Link to comment
Funkateer_1 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 New lights!!! Im not gonna get to hanging them till after finals in a week or two. I think 13 watts per gallon should be adequate... Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You should get some good colour and growth from the new fixture, look forward to pictures of it hanging. Good luck with finals. Link to comment

I went and picked some SPS from Bogg and he had 2 planets over his elos 160. Needless to say, I realized I did not have anywhere near enough light over my tank lol. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Forgot to ask you, which MH option did you go for? Did you take advantage of the sale? I have seen Boggs postings for coral, I'm sure you got some nice pieces. Christine Link to comment

I might get dimmable ballasts for it as well, it came with icecaps. Going to the local hydroponic shop later today to see what they got. I'm going to be using Hexarc Pheonix 14k bulbs.

Funkateer_1 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just got this guy ( Acropora abrotanoides?) too.... I usually avoid maricultred pieces like a plague, but this acro was too nice to pass up Link to comment
Ebn Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sure does look like an abro. Picked up one of those years ago and couldn't maintain the beautiful colors. I'm tagging along to see how this beautiful tank matures. Link to comment

Reef Fever Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just got this guy ( Acropora abrotanoides?) too.... I usually avoid maricultred pieces like a plague, but this acro was too nice to pass up nice piece, curious why you avoid maricultured corals? I have my own opinions on them but just curious to hear yours Link to comment
Funkateer_1 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 nice piece, curious why you avoid maricultured corals? I have my own opinions on them but just curious to hear yours Maricultured pieces bring in a lot of funky parasties, they have coloring up issues, and I believe that the frag discs they mount stuff on can leach PO4 and silicate in the water.
