metrokat Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Time for a new thread title....... Kitty Kat's tank's birthday was last week..... I like that. That would be a good title. And what iPhone? I like the look of that. Mine makes my tank look 20k no matter what. Even with just one blue bulb on. iPhone 6plus he says Reef is looking sweet Kat! Thanks Maria! Can we ask John for pictures of his holding tanks for these critters? I will Mount Zoa isle is getting tall! Which one, there are 2 of them now. 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Can we ask John for pictures of his holding tanks for these critters? It's really nothing special, basically the same clear racks that most LFS have, just the bottom ones are much larger and have thousands of snails in them. 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hey Y'all. The brother was trying a new lens on his iPhone The tank really isn't blue like this, the iPhone always makes it so, not sure why Ermagerd, I want to come live in your tank These pics are all beautiful, but something about this one shot is just so inviting and peaceful to me. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thank you. I've been trying to come up with a better solution for the gorgonians. Something to make them more a part of the landscape. 1 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hmmm I've had my Kat for a year now.... Encrusted pretty darn good but no vertical growth. Green base on the encrustation, purple ish hue on the coral. Radion gen3 pro from 4pm-630 it's over 70% and peaks at 85% at 530. Maybe it's the wide angle lens. Maybe about 10-12" from the fixture. Just added an mp40 and replaced an mp10 on the right side which I'll sell soon. Quote Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 18k, with peak intensity at 14k for 2hours Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 18k, with peak intensity at 14k for 2hours Okay - so you're running a blue light all the time. If you want to try an experiment increase the whites so that the tank is more towards daylight colors. I would also do this slowly, so as not to shock the corals. You might see a lot of difference in growth and colors on all your corals across the board. I might be totally off but the lower the Kelvin, the more growth you see, higher Kelvin gives better colors. I say mix it both. 1 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Kat, is your tank more 14K or 10K? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 10K Current view. It looks bluer than it is. The Kat picture I just posted above has no processing, it's how the coral looks in my tank 5 Quote Link to comment
