I just use my own schedule. When I get back to the house tonight I will post a few photos of my schedule and updates.

Dave, are you using natural sun in your 8 hour schedule? or do you break it up with morning/midday/evening? If you do not use natural sun could you post the details of the schedule for morning/midday/evening including colors/intensity/and length of each part of the day.

thanks!

 

Very nice! :D

O...M...G...

I was gonna save ip for a kessil for my lagoon but after seeing this I must nanobox!

 

Yes, very busy. However the tank is on auto pilot.

Dave, you slacker. Where are the updates? It's like you're running a business or something... :P

 

 

Updates tonight! Some wild stuff I have been doing with this tank. I will however be transferring to the Reefer soon. I think. :wacko:

Finally! Had a quick 30 minutes to snap a few photos before heading out on vacation. So what has been going on in the Lagoon?

 

  • Testing "Mint" Luxeon C for eight weeks
  • No water changes for 5 months
  • No hands in tank for two months
  • Dosings, feedings, etc have all stayed the same

Why am I trying this Mint color out?

  • Higher blue peak than Lime
  • Gets rid of any purple hue
  • Still adds a " brightness " without effecting color temp ( Exactly like Lime )
  • Has some peak below 450nm

Still a TON of testing to be done before I would ever switch to this but it is very promising. I have been running nearly zero whites over my tank for eight weeks now. While mixing the blues, royals, cyan, violets with the mint is gives an amazing 14k-20K look. So far my corals have had no effects and only looking for vibrant. With more testing I think the mint will be a winner!

 

People have asked for my schedule so here you go!

Cheers to fewer water changes. I've skipped my last couple weekly water changes and I've never seen better PE than I am right now. Corals seem to love it

Dave,

 

Why does your morning start at 2pm?

Normally when I come home for lunch and extends my period to see the tank at night.

 

Quick shot from last night. Things are growing! :D

Also I will be doing converting a few photos to a new App, Prisma. Such a cool app! Some of these will go in the new shop!

We also had a blast at the beach last week. Ended up surf fishing and caught ~35 fish. Some small, some that we could have kept but tossed back. Overall a much needed vacation.

I will be cleaning the tank tomorrow and doing a true photo shoot for IM! I am leaning towards converting this to a new drop off Concept series tank.

I come for the pictures of your tank... but leave feeling hungry all the time for delicious food..

 

Tanks looking great Dave id say stay with the lagoon but id love to see what you could do with the drop off...

Is that top down with the midday cycle? If so that looks stupid good for not having almost any whites.

The newest photo? If so it is just on the cycle tail end of the midday cycle. It looks amazing.

 

I was able to snap a couple for fun. The colors that are coming out are flat out insane.

Ha! Thanks!

:bowdown::wub:

 

Thanks John. Just trying to keep up with you ;)

Looks amazing, Dave!

 

Clams have this voodoo that they are "hard". Just be nice to them and they will be nice back.

I agree looks legit Dave! One of these days I'll try out a Clam cause that guy looks awesome

 

Thanks Jacky!

looking good!

 

:D

Good God, there you go with the food again!

 

I maybe your way in two months. ;)

Looking great as always! Let me know when you're coming over to make me and the mrs. some food. :D

 

Yes sir. They really have a wild pop. We are still a ways off on telling people that whites really are not needed but a start.

Damn if that is midday with 10% white then the luxeon mints are freaking insane.
