Soooo I am so happy with what I decided to do while my wifey is away on a business trip!

 

I pulled out the ol’ camera and started playing with settings and shutter, balance, etc on the camera. I have to say, I am absolutely pleased with the results!!!

 

I took pictures with pure Halides (No Actinic Supplementation) and others with just the Add on LED Actinic. This is the closet that I have been able to get to what I actually see in my tank.

 

So first:

 

FTS no Actinic

Awesome man, awesome.

 

Yea bro, the actinic are off the chain! as u know pics do no justice! My colors and fish just pop out!!! Insane!

 

Looking great.

 

Thanks!!

 

Cool skimmer pic,

 

But you need to adjust it.

 

Im not a fan for rimless but i gotta say that tank looks dope!

 

Lol, that skimmer pic was taken on day one in the tank, it's been adjusted to break at the neck. Good advice though, someone would be emptying their skim cup daily!

Sorry for the delay! Things have been great with the tank! My RBTA's are insane! I have five total. Two are close to. 10" - 12" and the. The other three are about 5"-6" total.

 

Sorry I know the tank is a little dirty.

I have recieved a few requests for the bottom sump area. I will take when I get home. :)

 

Right now, we are debating on what's still missing. Any suggestions? No SPS, i don't dose, and I dont think I am going to do a reactor on this bad boy.

 

For those wondering what happen to my extensive collection of Acans, the RBTA's happened. :( When I was in Kauai, my RBTA split, and both decided to move, killing everything, and I mean everything in their paths.

 

I think I may buy my first Acan soon, wounds are still deep. :)

 

:P

Looks great, bro! I'd like to see a full tank shot! (including your light fixture)

 

Will do man, I think I have one on my phone now that I can post. :)

 

I am running the 48" Current Sunpod 250 x 2 HQI w/Phoenix 14k bulbs and Evils Sunpod Actinics that still rock most actinic set up's today. I am so glad I bought these bad boys!!! :)

Nice job, coming from an SPS-kind of guy! I see you went DSB, any worries of a crash?

 

Awesome. It's tuff for sps lovers to even recognize softie tanks, so thanks! :)

 

I went with a DSB and love it, I will admit that it definitely creates extra work, but some gobies and my wrasses Love to sleep it!

 

I'm actually wanting to add SPS, however I don't dose and I need a reactor first, I'm trying to get good Suggestions on maybe something that won't break may pocket book to much, hahaha!
