Kedd's Tank Part 2

[jhale]

After I photographed kedd's tank under 14K bulbs, two days later he switched back to 10K's. I wanted to go back and shoot the tank with the new lights, and this past weekend I got the time to visit Kedd.

No mater what light is used Kedds tank is going to look good

10 or 14k tank looks awesome. but i kinda liked the 14k look a lot more.

i was at kedd's last month... theres nothing like seeing that guys tank in person...

 

[jhale]

I like the 14K in person, but the 10K makes photographing the tank easier.

 

[Kedd]

I'm torn,but 14k's browned out some of the corals in a week.
My next change is going to be actinic VHO's instead of the T-5's with the 10k's.
Just a touch more blue.

Thanks for the photos Jonathan.

10k's all the way kedd!! I love VHO actinics with 10k's. IMO makes a perfect lighting mix.

wow so nice Kedd, J well done as always

10k's all the way kedd!! I love VHO actinics with 10k's. IMO makes a perfect lighting mix.

hom many vho's would you put with your 10k's also what ballast would you use

 

[jackson6745]

On your 180 I would use 3 on an IC660

If you use an IC metal halide ballast with a SE 10k XM, 2 VHO's would be fine to offset the color. IMO a lot of guys lose the color of VHO's because they place them too high. Mount them as close to the water as possible.

Amazing Kedd. Jon, great pix.

 

[Kedd]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Daceman I will put 2 VHO's and run them with the 660 IceCap ballast the is running the T-5's.
