Do you think you could get a picture of the tank with the actinics off? I am trying to choose which bulb to use and would like to see how the reeflux 12k looks without the actinics.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

tomorrow I will show a pic for you,I love the reeflux 12k
always had 10k

great looking tank jarret, are you running 400w? reeflux 12k i heard are the way to go, how do you like them so far?

 

[Reeftanker3295]

I am having mixed reviews. A very knowledgable guy on thereeftank told me he didn't like them because they weren't bright enough but he uses 10k's on his tank with no actinics and loves the color so he isn't much help to me haha. I am getting 2 ARO ballasts, 2 spiders reflectors and 2 reeflux 12k's for 90 bucks and I am contemplating on whether or not to keep the 12k's.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

For 90 bucks its a steal, try them out and if you still dont like them you are ahead in $$$ anyway

How far do you have the mh pendants from the water?

I tried RF/12k on IceCaps & to my eye, they were very dim & blue. You would probably get a better output if you used M80 HQI ballast. On IceCaps, I like the Aqua Connect 14k bulbs.

8'' from the water

Any updates on this amazing tank? Also, I noticed you didn't cycle your tank. Is it because you used water and cured rock from your previous tank?

More pics

well its been a couple weeks: I lost alot of my coral in the tank due to a mini spike of dead coral from to much light( I think??) I added a bunch of more live rock to my sump and finished aquascaping the rock. I also set up a frag tank today

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

thanks for asking, yes I used water and established rock from my 72gal and someone else tank but I would not reccommend it!! Had a small ammonia spike. Ps I will always buy good test kits in the future

[tomtoothdoc]

is that an exterior door? can you just take out the door knob? or put a deadbolt with a turning knob....lower profile....less chance of an accident!!!!...just in case.
