That is some mad light for a smaller tank. I'm glad to hear you're getting good color under your MH. I have 2 Lordhowensis colonies and they're coloring up REALLY nice under the Phoenix 14K bulbs (250W).

fliger: what size tank and how many lights?

Keith, the tank looks sweet! What is the bright green/yellow coral on the bottom / right side?

mummra100769 · #81 07/22/2005, 02:55 PM

just a brain coral. trachyphilia i think.

It's on my 340, and I have four 250W Phoenix DE bulbs up there. They are getting indirect lighting.

Saying that, I'm getting rid of them. I think these are some of the best bulbs available, but the DE doesn't work for my tank. I'm going to Lumenarc III (3x) and running 400W. Either Aquaconnect (if I can find them), Radiums or the EVC 14K bulb. I like the bluer lights.

radiums are sweet.

mummra100769 · #84 07/24/2005, 10:16 PM

so right in the middle of this tank i am adding a couple of more rocks to kibda fill in that big open spot (and add more corals hah!)

Someone over on my local reef club forum used a pic of your tank for an example of how awesome an LPS tank can look. Unfortunately, he was the only one who thought that.

haha

Awesome tank.

otolith · #87 07/25/2005, 12:20 AM

Let me do some digging, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it.

mummra100769 · #96 07/25/2005, 05:43 PM

yah both of those are great fish. if i do a psuedo it will be a black cap as they are so sweet.

i am still thinking really hard on this, do i want fish? i am not so sure.

shane 1111 · #97 07/25/2005, 06:01 PM

a black cap is much different than a psuedo. psuedo are fin nipping mean little brats.

Who needs fish with corals like that??????? My tank is 180g and I have only 4 fish and that's only because i could not catch them LOL!!!!

shane 1111 · #99 07/25/2005, 06:11 PM

it looks unnatural. I would lose interest in my tank fast with out fish.

mummra100769 · #**100** 07/25/2005, 06:21 PM

yeah but nutrient control is way easy when you are not feeding every day (well twice a day when i have fish in a tank). i have never had a reef atnk w/o fish so i doubt that this one will be any different but i am going to take my time (just like i did with the coral selection) and plan this one out.

what do you guys think of a twelve line wrasse? they are so sweet.
