disaster999 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 looking good....info on the light? Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Stu, Looking at your build really floods my memory of my dives in Monterey! Oh my lord, I am not joking! On a sunny day when we enter the shallows and return from our dive, we hit the eel green and the green/purple macro algae is so gorgeous! Your light will allow those to grow and this tank is an ecosystem in itself! You rocked it and we haven't even seen it bloom yet with your rock star anemone collection! I can't wait to see this evolve, did I say evolve? LOL Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 looking good....info on the light? The light is one I built myself. Its a 50w LED Multichip on a 90mm fan/heatsink combo. Spectrum is about 12k. Has a 60 degree optic to focus the light down a bit. Gonna be replacing that chip tomorrow with a 50W Cree XTE Blue and White chip like this: Link to comment

No waiting time if you want a system like Stu's... All you do is order and I ship it! Mike, between you having coldwater tanks ready to rock, us with the livestock ready to go, and now Brightwell Aquatics is releasing a Temperate Bacteria and biofuel for cycling the tanks! you could have a tank up and running fully stocked in under a month. How often do you feed all those guys and what? I feed these guys Ocean Nutrition Nano Reef Fish Food, Nano Reef Coral food, frozen Mysis shrimp and live tigriopus. Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Stu, Can you get me some full tank pics, for my site? I really like the close up of the pics you posted and will use it on my site. But I want pictures of the side of the furniture like you did before. Can you make sure to center them nicely and make sure no flash comes up on the acrylic. Let me know when you are done, so I can see them. Thanks, Mike Guerrero Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I will get em taken right now I'm sitting next to the tank with my phone and my lap top Link to comment
