I'll try to post some new pics soon. Work has been busy. I don't absolutely hate my LEDs, they are fine and work well. Just my growth is kind of pathetic under LEDs compared to my previous experience with T5s. I am highly considering going back to T5 or doing a hybrid fixture. Link to comment

Interesting, because there are some people that say the complete opposite when they went from T5's to LED. I'm one of them TBH, but I was using a crappy 6 bulb LED fixture though. Link to comment

I got better growth with my Zoas and Chalices under T5s, but my Acans, and Rics seem much happier under LEDs, but still slow growth. Link to comment
land shark Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I really like this tank. Very nice corals. FPG's are definitely more suited for picos though. You should set up a pico for your goby Link to comment
h3dgehog Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 How loud does the setup get with the skimmer in the back? Would like to know if a similar setup would work for my bedroom. Link to comment
DocReef Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I really like this tank. Very nice corals. FPG's are definitely more suited for picos though. You should set up a pico for your goby Thanks. Indeed, I think my next tank be a pico for my fpgs. How loud does the setup get with the skimmer in the back? Would like to know if a similar setup would work for my bedroom. The skimmer doesn't get too loud imo, and it's aa subtle constant bubbling noise, so it doesn't really bother me. The MP10 however is very loud, and can be heard across the room. Link to comment
Sooty1978 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Whats your lighting schedule with the XR15 and do you have the standard lens or the wide angle installed? Link to comment
DocReef Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Whats your lighting schedule with the XR15 and do you have the standard lens or the wide angle installed? I use the wide-angle lens that come installed on the XR15. My lighting schedule is 12 hours, from 10 am-10 pm with 2 hours of moonlight. Kelvin starts at 20k and slowly ramps up to 18k then 16k at midday for 3 hours then ramp down back to 18 and 20k. Intensity is at 60% for all points. I can share my schedule with anyone interested.
