Chinatown's 57G Rimless Build

oh the pic looks cool lol

So this is sitting under the bulbs on your T5 fixture?

 

[chinatown]

it's actually in between the middle 2 bulbs, so its only blocking a little bit of the light. but I only hang it on after the daylights go out.

 

[CONSTANTNE]

Oh ok so it doesnt block the "dawn" bulbs and you hang it on after daylights go out. Thats always the trouble with T5 fixtures and moonlights/LED. Its tricky where to place them. Plan on doing anything permanent? Like mounting it how the reefbrites are with brackets?

 

[chinatown]

yea, it's impossible to mount them under there permanently without them blocking out some light and heating up the metal strip.

if i were to do permanent moonlights, i'll mount them on the front bezel of the tank and them prop the 2 ends up so it'll be hitting my corals at an angle, which i might do when i have time. the light spread from that looks a lot better than hanging em.

some of my zoas. still growing them out.

 

[smoq]

You've got some great zoas out there Zin. The blue with purple center me like

 

[James]

[ctxmonitor]

hmm, all your zoos seems to have long skirts.. you got too much flow or your tank is too clean? haha..

Good looking zoas! Where are the rest?

strong observation! you're correct. Tank is too clean and I have too much flow, lol, gotta keep the SPS happy.

No more Zoa pics but here's a tank shot.

[chinatown]

[bignick]

what kind of camera did you use to take the pics?

 

[chinatown]

i am using the Canon T2i with kit lens.

 

[afernandez]

the leds makes it look good but im sure its nicer in person. nice build btw. that does kinda suck you have to mount it on and off. but im sure you will find a way lol

 

[chinatown]
