stylaster Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have finally converted over my 120g tank to a chalice dominated system I currently have 36 chalice colonies (still not enough!) plus a few SPS and softies thrown in the mix. I have put names to ones that i know, others have no names unless you come up with a cool one! (naughty) I am running two 250w SE 20k radiums with icecap ballasts. One 4 bulb blue led for night time effect. For circulation im using a reefflo dart plumbed to an ocean motions 4 way closed loop. I also have once tunze pump in the tank and an ehiem 1260 for a return going though two seaswirls. I am running a knop calcium reactor and dose brs calcium and magnesium also. I am running a reef octopus with modded impellor I run a media reactor with carbon and phosphate remover 24/7. I also have a 5 gallon bucket of sand with slow water flow through it for nitrate removal since my tank is bare bottom Enjoy folks! worlds on fire chalice on left and golden chalice on right swamp fire chalice superman chalice roys chalice purple urkel chalice pastel chalice orange crush echinata tank right side tank right middle tank middle left tank left side alien eye chalice pastel and urkel unknown keylime mango morph baby emerald mummy eye unknown washington mummy eye miami hurricane / pumpkin patch pink sapphire on left and westside chalice on right paint splatter chalice oiab watermelon chalice golden eye chalice unknown unknown tank shots fungia fantastic frags chalice emerald mummy eye cornbred trash bubblegum mummy eye bubblegum monster on left and oregon mummy eye on right watermelon bandit chalice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grassi Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 sorry typo should be se not de bulbs I was worried because I just ordered a 250w Radiums and I didn't specify the kind. For a second I thought the introduced (finally) the DE version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefSafari Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I was worried because I just ordered a 250w Radiums and I didn't specify the kind. For a second I thought the introduced (finally) the DE version I didn't say anything as I knew what he ment, I only wish Radiums made a 250w DE, I would buy stock in the company if that where the case, I think the would be INSANELY popular and probably the best selling bulb next to Phoenix... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 i am surprised that they haven't, not sure why, maybe they are having a manufacturing issue, or maybe 250w de fixtures dont exist in germany... pretty strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
