Wow! Nice tank!!!! We require a lot more pics, please.

 

Yea I'm working on it haha. Some of my pictures don't come out so hot because the camera doesn't take good pictures with the bright lighting

Wow. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

You bought a pos, took 8 months, and turned it into a sexy sps paradise. Any secrets?

 

basically water changes. but i completed changed the filtration. the guy was running canister filters and we all know those are a joke. . so i added a sump and this is where it has gotten me

 

Nice! Now you have to take some more pics.

 

yea im going to take some pictures tomorrow. Im hoping to not burn up any of my corals with these fixtures.

Start the lights out at like 40% and increase them 5% a week until you get to where you want them. That way your corals wont bleach. Any new coral? or did you empty the bank for those lights!

Any updates?

 

Other than the palys . Not really . I'm still trying to figure out wether my corals are acclimated to the lighting . And I'm in the process of trying to get rid of my marine Betta

If you aren't noticing any bleaching then I'm sure they are acclimated to them. If there's no bleaching or if things are "stretching" toward the light, then maybe rise the light intensity 5% more.

should i do 5% on both the whites and the blues?

Yea. I would add 5% to both every week or 2 until you have the intensity you are looking for.
