daryls new tank

Looks good. Did you come up with a solution for lighting yet?

I got my 2 165 watt less on at the moment I'm going to buy another 2 and see if that is any better iv been copping a bit of grief from some fellow reefers because I want eBay leds and not radions or kessils I find these to do just fine

Let en grief. It does the trick, just spend the extra cash on something cool and rub it in their face.

Yeah ahah I got a lot of grief because I was manually dosing as well and don't have an ato but it will all come in time haha

I have an ATO and I manually dose sometimes. It isn't like you are dumping a cup full of stuff into the sump, yeah know?
Though I must say, life is a ton easier with the ATO and with the ability to use my reeflink to control my vortechs and radions.

 

[Darylb]

That would be good but I'd need 4 at least on this tank and at almost $1000 each I can't justify it

I absolute love my AutoAqua Smart ATO. I highly recommend it if you're looking to get one in the future. EBay Chinese LEDs? Fine by me. Can't beat them for the price, I've had no complaints on mine. Though there are some really nice features on the high end LEDs.

Bit of an update I was searching for new lenses because I'm running 90degree ones at the moment and with 2 fixtures it's not enough. I'm gonna need another 2 lights still but for now I have removed all lenses I know this will effect par but most my acros are high up anyway here are some pics iv noticed my corals that were in the dark are now looking better before and after pics

Looking very nice! Ever gonna consider a little later of sand on the bottom of are you gonna wait it out for a nice coralline floor?

 

[Darylb]

I'm gonna add a bunch of Zoas and see if I can get them to matt over the whole bottom also have some acro and pocci on the base I think it would look pretty cool here are a few more pics

Green Bay Packers look nice and outgrow any zoa I've ever owned. I would have given you a chunk of them about a month ago.

If thats a regular plug that it is covering then I'd say it seems fair. Why would you want to get t rid of it though? I got a buddy that has a ton of green bay packers plus the ones I have him. He would still then for dirt cheap but I don't know what shipping would cost to Australia. My guess would be very high.

Here where mine to show you what a decent colony looks like. They did wipe out the fire and ice zoas though, but if you want coverage they are for you!

 

[Darylb]

I think I may have some similar to that yeah it's a standard plug it was higher but I fragged it for someone and they were gonna give me some frags back but never did I'm quiet disappointed they won't return any messages
