Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Damn.. nice tank dude. The colors are amazing. What LED's are you using? Btw.. you know what would make this tank 100x better? Nice fine white sand. Just sayin.. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wicked scape, color, lighting, everything. This tank is drool for shure. Link to comment
jeremai Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 good stuff. I kinda like the black bottom, it works with your scape. which 'knockoff' pump are you using? Link to comment
slasher Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The black bottom looks great. This tank looks like it is in outer space. Link to comment
Meximazing Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Damn.. nice tank dude. The colors are amazing. What LED's are you using? Btw.. you know what would make this tank 100x better? Nice fine white sand. Just sayin.. I'm using Steve's LEDs. Each fixture has 7 x RB's 2 x 7,000k whites 2 x 10,000k whites 1 x cyan green. Lol the reason this went bare bottom is because I had coral sand in there before and it trapped WAY too much detritus and was spiking my nitrates. Wicked scape, color, lighting, everything. This tank is drool for shure. Thanks man! The knock off powerhead I'm using came from Ebay found Here Let me warn you, they are LOUD and I will be replacing mine soon Link to comment
Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Lol the reason this went bare bottom is because I had coral sand in there before and it trapped WAY too much detritus and was spiking my nitrates. Damn aint that the truth dude. The sad story about crushed coral that many people find out about the hard way. Just asking about the led combo you were using because that color is amazing! And it doesn't even look too blue either. Is it really blue in person or do the pictures pretty much show it how it is? Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Which drivers are you running the stevesleds off of if you don't mind me asking? Also how many drivers? Link to comment

Oh yea you can count me in for learning the hard way . The first few times I tried to photograph the tank I could never get it right, but this time I think I did. These pictures are almost exactly what you would see if you came over to look at the tank. I tried to photograph the actinic crazyness, but my POS camera couldn't do it. Which drivers are you running the stevesleds off of if you don't mind me asking? Also how many drivers? I'm using 2 x Meanwell LPC-35-700. LED's are wired in series receiving 700ma each. Wear a pair of if you decide to look at any 3W diode at 700ma. Good lord. Link to comment
Meximazing Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here's a few more pics to end the night. The following is unedited Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks! Have you seen a lot of growth under the LEDs? Link to comment
Meximazing Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Zoa's grow mad. I have new heads every week. All of the SPS that are in there are a little less than week old, so they're still acclimating to the new environment (they came from a MH system). I'll keep dosing and document growth over the next month though. Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sweet looking forward to seeing the results! Link to comment
BoostLED Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Awesome looking tank! Nice aquascaping and good choice of coral colors! Link to comment
gutterguy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Vry nice! All you guys with LEDs are makeing me drool. I may have to look into a build Link to comment
steely185 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks good. I like the rockwork. How stable are the islands with no sand to help balance and support the rocks? Link to comment
Meximazing Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks good. I like the rockwork. How stable are the islands with no sand to help balance and support the rocks? The island on the right is completely stable. The core rock is very flat on the bottom. The left side is very stable as well. The rock underneath the large piece has 4, almost squared off points of contact, and the large rock atop it is pretty flat as well. Very nice tank. Thanks I appreciate it! Link to comment
Meximazing Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Update! Picked up 2 Tank raised percs, and a haitian condy (girlfriend wouldn't leave without it). I'll take pics tomorrow! Link to comment
Byrdman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Nice Looking tank love the look! Link to comment
Meximazing Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 New FTS! Also added 2 False percs and a condy. The bare bottom has got to go. Every time I siphon the detritus out another pile builds up somewhere. Link to comment
Meximazing Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey guys can you give me a coral ID for these corals? I got 2 for $10 due to their damage. I figured they'd start looking pretty with some nursing. Link to comment
Meximazing Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 While I'm at it, here's a crappy picture of my hollywood stunner grabbing a bite to eat. Link to comment
