I want more spread and to elimating shadowing. Figured this was the best route. I am doing 3 led pucks and the T5s. What T5 bulbs are you running? Thinking about going Blue+ and Coral+ That's awesome, I should ask him for a commission that is the exact bulb combination I am using. I had the blue+ up front, but switched it because I like things to look a little more crisp. 1 minute ago, Lula_Mae said: Light looks awesome! And the Sunny D too! Thanks!!

It's a nice light but a little to small I think to do an sps dominant on the Lagoon. It's not reaching the sides as much as I would like. So you recommend that bulb combo then? Quote Link to comment

I mean I would have felt comfortable with the duo, and think the light looks great with just the LEDs on, but I really wanted the benefits of T5 as well. I love the bulb combo so far, but I'll have to see how it does over time. I can keep you updated over the next few weeks while you wait for your light 9 hours ago, gogeta said: That light is awesome!! Thanks!! I am super happy with it so far. 1 Quote Link to comment
MortalWombat Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Very cool! I love the dimensions of this tank. Following. Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 LOVE the light! Do I see two extra T5 bays that have no bulbs in them? I'm still thinking about rigging up two T5HO single-tube growlight to supplement my quad (front and back). That or I might have to start saving up for a new fixture. And you'll not be disappointed in getting that Sunny D's - my most favorite zoa/paly. Sorry in advance for dropping my pic here, but here's what you can look forward to. Here's my colony glowing under NBR Quad. 2 Quote Link to comment

Here's my colony glowing under NBR Quad. Good eye! There are two extra T5 bulb spots, but I opted not to include them for now just due to cost. I can always have them added later if I wish, but I don't think it will be necessary on this tank. I had originally thought about buying a duo and then adding T5, but when Dave said he had a body left to make this fixture, I jumped on it just because of how clean it would look comparatively. And don't worry, I am always happy to see other peoples goodies! That is a lovely colony, I am definitely looking forward to seeing mine grow. I love buying single polyps just so I can really track their growth well, and feel like I grew something out of almost nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment

schgr.cube Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Had a lot of pick ups today, most of which aren't even open yet. Most of this was free as well! Baby short tentacle plate: Jack-o-Lantern Lepto: Purple and blue blasto: Pink zipper-ish? Some sort of birdsnest: There are more zoas and palys, but they still haven't opened. I also got this paly from someone recently for free, and it looks a lot like the very toxic one that made everyone pay attention to palys toxicity. Any ideas on this, or should I just dump it? 4 Quote Link to comment

I think I may have lost all the GSP frags from the 3 gallon as none have opened in days/a couple weeks despite moving to the 5.5. The one you sent me is getting covered in algae. I'd love to see a pic of the blowpops as I've been interested what they look like in someone's actual tank lol. Quote Link to comment

I have two types now, so I can send a little of each if you pay shipping. I'll try to get pictures of the potential blow pops, I am away from home for a work event until tomorrow night. In other news, Innovative Marine has decided to upgrade my stand to one of their new APS stands, which should be here Friday!! I'll post pictures and whatnot once I get it, but I am very excited to check it out. 3 Quote Link to comment

Nothing really happened, but I was way too impatient to set up my tank, and didn't finish the stand the way I wanted to. I was planning on living with it, but Innovative Marine ended up getting in contact with me and offered one of their new stands to get some feedback on it. Total win-win! 2 Quote Link to comment
