nanoty Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Welome to the club: How do you like the FNit T5 light? Link to comment
Quick Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for the compliments every one. I will get some shots tonight of how the tank is sitting now with the corals as well as my new t5 lighting. very nice tank. what bulb configuration did you get with the FNI T5HO light? I went with 2 14K and 2 Actinics. I'm hoping its not too blue for me. If it is, I will be swapping out for some ATI bulbs very quickly... Welome to the club: How do you like the FNit T5 light? Don't have it yet. It is coming today. My buddy has one though and the quality is surprisingly great for the price. The bulbs could use a little work, but for the price and what I have seen of his, you definitely cannot complain.. I will let you know what I think of mine a little later this evening. Oh, and thanks for the welcome.. Link to comment
Quick Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well here are some new shots with the new Fish need it light.. So far, I like it alot. The bulbs aren't the greatest but aren't terrible either. I went with 2 x 14k and 2 x Blue combo. I did mess with the pics in photoshop, but I only did this to try and get the tank to look how it does in person. Don't mind the pissed xenia and bleaching monti.. They've been with out good light for a few days. Both Zoa frags are from Omen on these boards and are looking and doing great. Link to comment
Quick Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just a couple more shots.. The corals are finally starting to look happy again with the new light over the tank.. The xenia is starting to fill out again.. Link to comment
TeamZissou Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 up the flow, I just started a 45L and I have a SEIO 2600 and a Vortech MP20, its a little overkill, haha. I have to figure out how to cut the flow back on the SEIO Link to comment
Quick Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I was thinking of adding another powerhead when I can.. In the pictures you can see where I have my koralia placed in relation to the return from the fuge, is that a correct configuration? I would like to get another koralia in there sometime soon.. Link to comment
TeamZissou Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 well, the configuration is really preference, I think. You don't have much wave action from what I see in the pictures, I might move the koralia up and inch and make sure it is aimed at the front right corner, and place the azoo low on the right side shooting toward the back left corner, straight across behind your rockwork.

Quick Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Cool, thanks for that advice. I am using the zoo powerhead in my hospital tank right now, but once I can use it again I will put where you recommend and see how it works. Link to comment

The new shrooms Soon to be zoa garden (djont mind all the sand.. my blenny loves stirring it up) New FTS: Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Very nice man that tank is looking sweet cant wait to see it stocked and fully grown Link to comment
Quick Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Here are a few new shots of the fish as well. The flame hawk checking out what was going on: Banded sleeper goby hanging out in his spot. My GSP are growing like crazy as well.. An attempt at catching a picture of the wrasse while he wasn't moving.. it didn't work. Very nice man that tank is looking sweet cant wait to see it stocked and fully grown Thanks, I'm hoping the coraline starts growing faster because my tank looks too young without everything covered in purple! I should be picking up at least 3 different zoa frags this wednesday and possibly some rics as well.. I'm trying to add corals as fast as I can afford them.. Link to comment
