Tonyscoots84's 120 gallon tank upgrade

[Tonyscoots84]

hey king thank you, i have it on pulse mode anti sync with a few sec. delay of a burst... I'm going to change it soon but haven't had time to change it and fool around with it.

Thanks russ. No I'm not dosing HGH lmao i would be giving myself that :lol2:... Rich and I have been working together and getting great results Im so lucky to have such great friends

Its crazy how much this tank is taking up in chemistry..

Kalk - 400ml a day @ 2 tbs and 2 ml of vinegar
alk - 92ml a day
cal - 90 ml a day
mag - finally has begun being utilized alot ( dosing by hand )

hey I'm about to order my bulbs for my ATI power mod. I really know nothing about T5s but I'm thinking of just using the same combo you have. Why did you go with this combo, is it more on the blue side or white? also why did you go with 1 GE bulb?

thanks tony

Its kind of like a 14k look (maybe a bit more blue). I love the color everything has under these bulbs.

Loving your tank, and it's inhabitants! All the corals, and fish look so very healthy & happy!
Be proud of yourself Tony! You truly deserve the praises you are receiving!:hug:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

awi thanks a bunch :hug:. I've really gave this tank my all from day 1. especially having rich as a good friend doesn't hurt :biggrin:

 

[james1990]

i keep referencing back to your FTS. there's a lot of dimension in the aquascape. when the frags In front of the larger colonies grow out it's going to Really come together nicely. how do your softies and LPS do? usually if the water is clean SPS thrive but the others don't do well

 

[Tonyscoots84]

james i can't wait. They are doing fine and growing as well

Here is May 2014 update (A big thank you to my cousin Anthony - Vibemyreef for looking after my tank while i was on vacation)

 

[TUSI]

Looking good tony everything looks happy

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks tusi i wish i had a better camera to show you all what it really looks like. The colors are amazing but the stupid iPhone 5 can't really capture all of it. Also uploading to photobucket doesn't help either :sigh:

 

[TUSI]

The colors looks good. Pictures normally don't do true justice I agree but I can imagine that if it looks this good on a picture it always looks better in real life. I have the same problem when I take pictures. Truly looks good cant wait to see it when it starts to close in its going to be amazing. Good job

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks tusi Ive been trying my best.
