mattv Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What's your ratio of blues to whites? Looks great and I will make some time to see it in person soon. Thanks again for all the led help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Tank looks really good, with the yellow and saifin tang it's like i'm looking at my tank, I have the same pair. Your corals are doing real good, nice colors and polyps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Your corals look fantastic. Ive been debating using LEDs for my new build. Your tank just convinced me that is the way I need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenereef Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks all for the compliment. I have been struggling with my camera all this time to take pictures of LED lit tank. I finally figured it out and you all are seeing the results What's your ratio of blues to whites? Looks great and I will make some time to see it in person soon. Thanks again for all the led help. Matt, I use 1:1 RB to CW. My CW are on 100% for ~6h during the day. At this setting the light temperature is like 10K. Rest of the time, the lights run mixture of 100% RB and varying level of CW. The interesting thing is that the tanks sees different light temperatures at different times in the day and the range is all the way from 20L to 10K and back to 20K! You are more than welcome to stopby when ever you are passing by Eugene. I do have to admit (and pardon me for bragging! )the tank does look much better in person. The camera somehow is not able to capture (it's more like I dont know how to use it yet ) the colors under blue LEDs when the colors are simply stunning!!

Eugenereef Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 An update! I had a serious hair algae attack in my tank and it was soo much hair algae, it killed many of my corals :( So the tank was completely dismantled and the rocks are cooking to get rid of HA and anything else that was causing it. I changed water on regular bases ( weekly), no phosphates, no nitrates!!! This it what it looks now ( you can see pics in previous posts for comparison): All the rock snow outfit next 6 to 8 weeks! All corals on the bucket! Piled-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugenereef Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks Guys!! I saved up some of the frags from my dying corals but I'll take you up on your offer In the mean time, also trying to convince myself maybe this is the time to upgrade to a bigger tanks!!

Emerald525 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Sorry to hear about this upinder. Do you think the hair algae had anything to do with the LEDs? I noticed with my LED unit I had a crazy growth of algae in my frag tank. I also could probably find some frags to donate to your rebuild .
