fiction101 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 very slick. Will you be adding some other form of filtration?? I'll be running an aqua clear 50 with chemi-pure and filter floss once I start stocking the tank with fish or maybe a canister filter like rehype is doing. Link to comment
eternal Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks good so far. You going to do a mixed reef? Emphasis on any species?(sps, softy, lps?) Link to comment

fiction101 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks good so far. You going to do a mixed reef? Emphasis on any species?(sps, softy, lps?) SPS and Zoas I guess. I definitely sill want to buy a red planet and bird of paradise frag in a few weeks from you, if you still have them. Link to comment

gabe_j Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 NICE, i need some t5's pronto. Link to comment
eternal Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That new light looks good. Should give you some great growth and color. Link to comment
Noonan Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 what's your bulb combo? +1 .. would love to know. Awesome tank. Link to comment
fiction101 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 what's your bulb combo? Blue+ Fiji-purple Aquablue special Blue+ It's a very bright combo, it seems to be too much light for my clove polyps. I might try switching out the aquablue for a super actinic. Link to comment
SushiYum Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i'm still trying to learn the bulbs. but the aquablue is more of a white bulb yes? Link to comment
fiction101 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 i'm still trying to learn the bulbs. but the aquablue is more of a white bulb yes? Ya, it's a 12k bulb. Link to comment
Withers Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 IME the Blue+ bulbs have more than enough actinic in them in addition to providing a significant amount of PAR. I don't think you would get much from adding a dedicated actinic bulb to the setup. Link to comment
