chewie Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Looks nice! I would switch out the purple+ for another actinic or coral+. I run 3 blue+ and a coral+ with a Phoenix 150wMH. When my halide shuts off, the 4 t5s in that configuration look nice to my eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I run a purple plus and a coral plus and ditching them for 3 blue plus and one attinic. New combo is 5 blue plus and one attinic. The LEDS will be plenty for whites...... Edited August 5, 2016 by spectra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer503 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Thanks! Originally i had jeff ordered me 6 b+ and 2 attinic! Then i thought it might be two blueish looking so i ordered 1 coral+ and 1 purple +! Im gonna play with the current combo and see! Might go back to 6 b+ and 2 attinic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I run the same combo and I like it enough that I chose the same for the frag tank. All personal preference I guess ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer503 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Looks nice! I would switch out the purple+ for another actinic or coral+. I run 3 blue+ and a coral+ with a Phoenix 150wMH. When my halide shuts off, the 4 t5s in that configuration look nice to my eye. That combo would look nice but it won't work with my ramping led. I set yy led ramping up at 11:00 and hit max 100% at 12:30. By 12:30 the 4 bulbs in the center turn on. Would be too much par (shock) for the corals if i run 3 blue plus in the center.

fishboys Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I am very jealous. One day I will own a big boy tank. Until then I will just have to live with my tiny tank and tiny fish, I love my fire fish, gobys and my Napoleon Wrasse. I will stick with my little tiny fish for now. Someday though, someday Edited August 31, 2016 by fishboys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
