jstuver Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 This reef is exceptional! Nicely done. What T5 Combo are you running? Thank you! Front to back I have: Blue + Purple + Blue + Blue+ Blue+ Blue + Purple + Aquablue Special Right now the 4th and 5th bulb aren't working because the ballast went out, ATi has excellent customer service and got me a new one but my hubby needs to install it still so normally the Aquablue Special is in where one of those middle Blue+ is but seems that isn't working I moved it to the back which I am actually liking but we will see once those two are working again. Obviously my tank isn't missing the light of those bulbs seems it was overkill anyway but I just upped the percentages on the other 6 for a bit until that ballast is replaced:) 2 Quote Link to comment

I really like the way your tank photographs. I have enough bulbs laying around to try this configuration. I will give this a try. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment

Thanks this is the coloring it looks to my eye, it does still photograph on the blue side and I fix it in Lightroom but the coloring is what I see cameras just tend to make things go blue 1 Quote Link to comment

jstuver Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Trying to debate if I want a new aquascape, I like this this one but just can't decide if I want it to look different... Quote Link to comment

jstuver Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Tank looks great I am not sure I would want to disturb it...... True I just need to move a few things around I think, I got a tube anemone for the front corner so had to push the octospawn tree back a bit further and I'm not sure I like it there but we will see:) Quote Link to comment

Yeah it's changed a bit since that photo, I'll have to post a new one. I sold the favia that's towards the middle and slightly left and moved one of the ric rocks to its place also used a few pieces of smaller live rock to put all my acans on over on the left side where they are but looks a bit different, I like it though. 1 Quote Link to comment
