Upgraded to halides

[grassi]

I just had to share that I just upgraded my 14g Biocube to halides! I was actually able to find the 16.5 inch Sunpod locally!!

 

Now I can start planning my first SPS (clap)

I am sure you will be much happier now. What do you have before?

[grassi]

I just had the stock Biocube lights! This is fantastic.. things are already opening up more and the ricordea is glowing! (Rim)

make sure you start out slow. light shock will stress and kill your corals, just run lower hours, like 5-6 hours and go up half an hour a week until you get to where you want to be.

 

make sure your water parameters are good, and stable before getting the SPS. SPS stands for Stability Promotes Success. if everything is fine, you will greatly enjoy SPS keeping.

Gratz on the lighting lets see some pics now (drooler)

Here's a pic

 

I only have softies so far, other than a pagoda, candy cane, hammer, and frogspawn... you think we need to do short light cycles for those too?

 

And the water parameters we've had very stable for 2 months now.. still going to wait for the SPS either way. I still have some ricordia and zoas I want to get first

yes, you need to shorten the photoperiod for everything. doesn't matter if it is high demand SPS, or low light corals, you are giving them more light than ever before and you can easily kill any coral from light shock.

sure looks nice with the new light once the corals adjust to it im sure there gonna love it and hopefully grow crazy.
