First coral!!!!

[54seaweed]

yup and you wont regret it either I keep mine at about 50%

Ok they seem really cool!!!!

 

[54seaweed]

just be-careful till you see what your corals can take you can really burn your corals with these if your not careful start low turn them up a little every other day till you see how your corals react to them
since I added these lights my coral growth went up about 25%

Ok thanks!!! How do you hang yours? I'm also scared of the fish jumping out with no top!!!

I use egg crate its a florescent light defuser it can be found at home depot
it lets your tank breath but keeps fish in

I have a wood frame I built to hold the light mounted to my tank stand I built

some just put 2 hooks in ceiling and hang them with cables
if you look at the tank to the left you can see what I mean that light is hung from ceiling

I'm curious, what size tank is that and what types of corals are you growing?

Brs sells a mesh cover thats black and looks alittle cleaner.
But egg crate is good stuff, i use it under my canopy.

 

[G1203]

I think I'm just gonna go cheap and buy egg crate! Lol! And with the left over might go ahead and make a frag rack!

 

[G1203]

Ok thanks

Zoas can't go wrong. What kind of lighting do you have? Just make sure you have the right conditions (light/flowparams) before buying anything...

Taos are great lights.. I have 2 and love them. Don't worry about quality being an issue, I was very surprised at how sturdy and well built they are.

 

[G1203]

Well I got some leds from petco but didn't like them so I'm buying 120w leds from ebbay

 

[G1203]

Ok thanks
