how long u had your tank running now?

From the previous page........

.... A big factor may be my system is around 20 yrs old.

sorry m8 missed that bit lol very nice capt in 20 years then mine will look like that
my topical tank is that old
marine is 6 months

20 years... I guess it takes that long. I think the great thing with a tank that big is that you can always find a place for another small frag. I'd love that.

Here's a few updated pics. Nothing much changed except I had to move some corals around to give them more room. They are growing too fast.

ORA Pearlberry I picked up at the swap this past weekend. The frag was only in the tank about 1 hr before I took this pic.

I thought this pic of the a.nana turned out pretty cool under actinics only.

Such a awesome tank.

I figured I would post a few pics showing my new lighting schedule. I think it looks cool. (Pardon the pic quality. It's hard to get a good pic with such different lighting in the tank.)

1st the VHO SuperActinics come on at noon.

At 1 PM, the 1st MH on the left side comes on.

At 1:30 PM, the middle MH comes on.

At 2 PM, the right side MH comes on for full power lighting.

At 8:30PM, the MH on the left, which was the 1st to come on, goes off.

At 9 PM the middle MH goes off.

At 9:30 PM the middle MH goes off.

And 10 PM all the lights are all off.

What's the watts of your MH's?

 

[ccCapt]

Thanks guys.

I was using 175w Iwasaki 15k. I just upgraded (2 weeks ago) to 250w XM 10k.

I like the creative lighting schedule, it probably helps keep heat down. And depending on how you look at it.... the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

 

[Mitchell0605]

That's true. When do we get more pictures of your tank ryshrak?

Soon, I bought a new taller canopy today to get my lights a little higher up.

 

[Mitchell0605]

Awesome. Nice canopy? Whats it made out of?
