[jgraz]

Hey any updates to that skimmer. I was just told that my 75 build is on hold and I'm gonna go ahead with a SPS heavy 20H. I was considering that skimmer.

[classklown90]

ill have some more pics up soon, i just snapped a few to give you guys a taste haha

 

[classklown90]

just ordered some ati bulbs in the hopes that itll bring the color out more in my tank. i went with the very popular "blue plus, purple plus, aqua blue sp, blue plus" combo except i subbed in a coral plus for the aquablue sp because i heard the aquablue can wash out your colors. ill let everyone know how it looks

 

[classklown90]

Yeah I can see that. I've got a 24" 2 bulb fixture over my 25g now but was going to add another 4 bulb fixture along to grow sps. Do you think it's possible I sell my 2 bulb fixture to buy 4 ATI bulbs and just get a 4 bulb fixture to grow montipora and other LPS?

 

[classklown90]

Well montipora is not lps but it is a fairly easy sps to grow, you shoukd have no problem with lps even with your two bulb fixture assuming you have T5's. A four bulb T5 fixture should be fine for sps assuming your tank isn't extremely tall

It's 24" tall

I have a 24" tall 54 corner with a AquaticLife 4-bulb T5 with ATI bulbs (2) aquablue specials, and (2) blue pluses. I'm growing a few SPS's with no issue, and really good growth.

I wouldn't put them in the sandbed, but middle-to-top so far so good.
