reefernanoman Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I break in bulbs for good 100hrs. More than they say. I been running the bulbs about 9 months before I replace them. Oh and I do use the dimming feature on mine. Oh and that bulb combo is a very crisp with just enough blue at peak. I love it. No washing out like with some bulbs. Thanks for your answers! Sorry to bother you so much, but can you share your dimming schedule and percentages please? Also, when you are breaking in your bulbs, do you just leave your light on top of the tank and I'm assuming that you raise your light? Breaking in is running them at 100% right? Thanks, and once again, your tank looks beautiful and amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Great job - congratulations! You've done a great job of showing how to establish a true mixed reef, and that selecting beautiful corals is more important than selecting expensive ones 3 Quote Link to comment

plainrt Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Great job - congratulations! You've done a great job of showing how to establish a true mixed reef, and that selecting beautiful corals is more important than selecting expensive ones Thanks. I think people forget sometimes they don't need high end corals to have a sweet reef. So now that you got TOTM, you can send me all my RFA babies. You didn't get the package yet? Belated congrats on TOTM, I completely missed it. Well deserved, again. Thanks guy. Tomorrow my local club is doing tour of tanks event and my tank is one of stops. I haven't shown too many my tank in person so will be nice to hear some in person feedback. Kind of pissed as just spotted some byropsis in my tank last couple days. Time to bust out some Kent and slowly bring that mag up there. If it's not one thing it's another lol. 3 Quote Link to comment
