Formula462 Posted August 14, 2011 Same lighting setup as me. Your acans in the lower right look pissed Quote Link to comment
Krazy_Karl Posted August 14, 2011 Tanks like this make me miss my MH with Phoenix bulb. My LED's (Ai Sol) just wash a lot of the color out, seriously considering switching back to MH.... Quote Link to comment
Formula462 Posted August 14, 2011 Im not a fan of leds as feature lighting at all. Makes everything look disco funky and the "shimmer" if you can call it that, looks all rapid and unnatural. Makes my eyes hurt. Quote Link to comment
Maddevil1 Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks everyone!! @Formula- I have a fish that likes to swim around my acans when I come near the tank if he thinks I am going to feed him. Quote Link to comment
Formula462 Posted August 14, 2011 Cool man. Your acans are in the same spot as mine. How close is your fixture? Quote Link to comment
basser1 Posted August 14, 2011 Gotta love those Phoenix bulbs! I'm on my third one now. Have been considering switching to LED's when it's time to replace the MH bulb in a few months, but IDK, I'm kinda on the fence about 'em. Beautiful pink birdsnest BTW!! Quote Link to comment
Maddevil1 Posted August 14, 2011 @formula - the fixture is about 8" off the water supplemented with 4 True violet LEDs. How about yours? Where in TX are you located? @Basser- I had LEDs, didn't like them for SPS. I've noticed the best colors with MH Quote Link to comment
cameraman_2 Posted August 15, 2011 That looks really good. Can't wait to get mine to looking good again after the crash. Quote Link to comment
Machupicchu Posted August 15, 2011 You can get light diffusing sheets that will eliminate the "disco" at your local hardware store. Quote Link to comment
Zoafreak Posted August 19, 2011 lol looking back on this on my comp now... this is looking very photoshopped... I was examining your zoas. I like the green/ orange contrast. Quote Link to comment
Maddevil1 Posted August 19, 2011 Photoshopped? Why do you say that? I have no reason to Photoshop and I have ppl on NR who have seen my tank in person. Don't hate Quote Link to comment
gabe_j Posted August 19, 2011 true story it really is that bright. hell it makes me jelous sometimes when i go over haha Quote Link to comment
pschom Posted August 22, 2011 Great picture. Yes I miss MH as well. But I sleep better at night without the heat and chiller plumbing issues. I'll have to look into a diffuser. It's strange. The corals look the same (led v. MH) from the top down, but through the glass its a different story. Quote Link to comment
