Cool thanks for the tip. :) I think I have it sorted now (at least for the new ones), my iPad displays things a bit funky sometimes so it gets hard to tell.

Sorry didnt realize it was displaying large for others :(

I know its been a long time, but here is the updated system. I didn't go for a 90 like I thought I would but opted for a custom 57 with matching frag tanks. Lighting consist of an aqua medic 250w pendant with 20k Par38 bulbs, Frag tanks are 70w 20K halides. All water circulation is handled by...

I have a new 90g rimless which is set to deliver soon so I don't expect to be maintaining my 40T for much longer, probably just a couple more months. Since its coming down soon I thought it would be cool to see a few growth pics even if it is 90% softies. There are a few caps and frags hidden...

Amazing...

I was finally able to get some updated shots before lights off. Since the last update I have added: Coral: Pink Zoa frag 2 small finger leather frags 1 small lobo frag 1 Green open brain 1 Duncan frag, not pictured Inverts: 2 feather dusters 1 Sally Lightfoot 1 Emerald Crab 1 Coral banded...

Awesome info as always guys, thank you!

The spectrum on halogen bulbs is way off I think. It needs to be at least in the 6500k range.

Does anyone have any advice on successfully keeping photosynthetic Gorgonians? They add the vertical element I am looking for in my system but I don't want to waste my time effort and money if they will just slowly recede away. I assume they have to be heavily supplemented with target feeding...

Just looked at your latest photos dated 7-5, things are coming along nicely :)

Thank you guys, that is what I was needing to hear.

I know there are better kits available, but I have been buying API recently (cost and availability local). Before now I have never used them but I am guessing they are middle of the road as far as accuracy goes, but perhaps others say differently?

Just a small update of pic's taken under the 20Ks. If I get home early enough tomorrow I will snap a few under the daylights for comparison. I tried to white balance the pics, but it really does not come out right. On the equipment side I have added a phosban reactor which has dropped the...

What a beautiful tank, I am sorry you don't have it set up right now, but I am sure the new one will be even better. Not to derail but can you obtain the same color with T5's? I am new to them and have not got to play around with the various bulbs yet...
