yeah its a bit blue for me might change out the act 03 for some 6500k should brighten it up a bit <grin>

hi,

i changed out my lighting from vho's... this is what the tank looked like

i got a 72" constellation....14 x t5s

went a bit heavy on the blue tho..

6 x Giesemann acquablue +

6 x Goesemann actinic +

2 x Sfiligoi Actinic 03

you cant see from the pics but the mushrooms and zoas have gone luminous haha

gonna have to change some bulbs out....

heres all of them on together

just actinic plus and actinic 03

with the actinic 03 and a set of actinic + switched off

i dont know really if they make THAT big a difference... but i have a dsb, deeper than it was...theres definately more flow under the rocks than there would have been otherwise.... still getting my flow right though as i have a dead spot under there in one place and its hard to balance without the sandshifting...

i made them after my tank was set up...it would be a lot easier to do it before

my hifin banded goby loves it though as do my shrimp... but its not the be all and end all

i have a differentidea formy new tank build that im working on though...

incredible tank!

theres a good thread on it on reef tank....at the end of the thread is my attempt

having very little in the way of tools at the time

its just caulepa, the leaves have a spiral kink in it i think... nothing special...will ask my friend what species

haha its probably not called that, i said to the guy i got it from "what type is it" he said "spiral"

thanks guys..

well ive only been in Tx for 3 months...im a brit...

my tank finished cycling and is looking good... so im setting up a second one now...

its a perm move, so its nice to be able to have something thats going to stay put..

havent been to to many fish stores generally since ive been here...a couple in houston and san antonio

as i suffer terribly from fish envy and it kills me waiting for the cycling to end... but now im there.... adding

a few tweaks to the setup

which stores should i check out? ... im quite intrigued by austin aqua farm and it looks like they have some awesome stuff!

hey im a brit too...

austins a great city, i really like it, although im nearer houston

austin is a bit more happening haha

hope you liked it..
