Hey guys
So I'm upgrading my 4x54w t5ho for LEDs! I ordered my first taotronic 120w Friday should be here by Friday and gonna order the 2nd one at the end of the month. Never really did a build thread so I'm gonna do a light upgrade one lol. So I'll post a pic later of how my tank looks now and keep it going to see how the lights make a difference (so kind of a review of the taotronic lighting system to see how well they work and how LEDs do with coral growth)
So with my 4 t5 bulbs are 2 marine glo and 2 power glo bulbs and I've been able to keep (coral wise)
Frogspawn
Hammer
Montis (purple haze, grape, orange, red, and tyree flower petal (all which are less then a month old so can't really say I've kept them under these bulbs but they are doing good and have shown growth))
Mushrooms (red, purple, green, and green fuzzy)
Kenya tree
Duncan
Brain
Doughnut coral
Zoas and palys
And a rose bubble tip anemone
My tank is a 55 gallon reef and has been up for 14 to 15 months and this is my first saltwater and first LEDs so my review is kind of what u take it for since I'm still new but thought I could show how it affects coral growth and just overall look of the aquarium! Thanks guys and any advice and help is greatly appreciated!
