Uhuru Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 what bulbs are you using? can you take an FTS with all bulbs on? Those ATI's must be bright as hell. Link to comment
danskim Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Indeed, they are bright. FTS with all lights on: I just noticed that the left side is less blue than the right side because I must have switched out an Aquablue for 6500k... so the left has 2x6500K and the right side has one more Aquablue. Haha... I have Deuteranopia by the way... which is probably the reason for the slip-up. I'm going to place an order for 2 more Blue Plus and 2 more Aquablue to try a different combination. I plan on getting rid of the AquaSun and Actinic. Not sure if this is a good idea, but if I don't like it or the corals don't grow well, they can just be backups. Bulbs (supposed to be) in each fixture: 3 - ATI Blue plus 2 - ATI AquaBlue 12000K Special 1 - UVL AquaSun 1 - Sfiligoi Super Actinic 03 1 - GE 6500K Link to comment
Uhuru Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 wow, now that's nice, even with one side more blue than the other LOL. Link to comment
do_0b Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 makes me wanan ditch my MH and get t5's lol Link to comment
divecj5 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Absolutely stunning. I agree that I think that the open feel (less rock) is a lot more aesthetically pleasing than a full box of rocks. I can only imagine what this tank looks like in action with all of the schooling chromis. I could sit in front of this tank for hours. Link to comment
danskim Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 makes me wanan ditch my MH and get t5's lol I think it could be a good idea. In a 20L, staggered T5s would probably be more efficient than any single MH while providing a little more customization for lighting spectrum and dawk/dusk. Link to comment

As are the two groups of anthias. I don't know if I already mentioned it, but I kind of wish I had gotten more chromis. Link to comment

Monkeyrobb Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Tank looks awesome. I added 4 cardinals to a group of 5 and they didn't even seem to notice. I'm not sure if chromis have the same disposition. You could always add a school of glass cardinals and have a few different schools going. Link to comment
do_0b Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 do ATI make the fixture in 24" ? Link to comment
A!ex Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 When i get a home....Im trying to go for that look, open Aquascape....and Long....GREAT LOOKING TANK....GO MARYLAND ! Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 300 gallon rimless glass aquarium...epic! Great system setup and design choices. I absolutely love the chromis and anthias! Link to comment
Jusiko Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I love the openness of your tank- gives it a more natural feel to the aquascaping. Do you think you could put in some detail shots of your tank? Left side, middle, right, etc.? Link to comment

PieNinja Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Since the display is light on LR, I'm assuming that a bulk of the LR is located remotely to handle the fish bioload. I'm surprised that no one has asked this before, but can you break down how many pounds of LR you have in this system? (sitting in display, fuge, ect?) Beautiful tank! Can't wait to see the corals grow in! Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 that tank is sick!!!!!!! Link to comment
jhealey Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Amazing tank, the simple and sleek design looks great! I see you live in ellicott city, I live nearby in Columbia and I am trying to find a good reliable LFS. Do you buy your fish and coral in the local area, or do you order online? Thanks!
