Amazing ...

And once again the theory that you have to have MH to get great colors is dispelled ...

I hate to speek for another person, but..

"Mit welcher Technik läuft mein Miniriff?"

Translates roughly to "What technology do I use in my tank"..

From the text and drawings it appears to use a total of (10) bulbs.

(5) White "pipes"
(5) Blue "pipes"

Total of 696 watts.

He says t5 Leuchstoff-Rohren. Leuchstoff I assume would be Leuchstoff-Osram bulbs. The Rohren noun means "pipes".. So light "pipes" aka "tubes"..

If anyone needs any more of the site translated let me know.

Thanks again

to the upcoming questions:

Quote:
if you look on his website, he runs all T5
Yes.... I use only T5 bulbs!!

Quote:
what kind of T-5 bulbs are you using?
At the moment

2x54 Watt ATI Aquablue special
2x54 Watt ATI Blue plus
3x80 Watt ATI Aquablue special
3x80 Watt ATI Blue plus

makes 696 Watt

but i'll stock it up to:

2x54 Watt ATI Aquablue special
2x54 Watt ATI Blue plus
4x80 Watt ATI Aquablue special
4x80 Watt ATI Blue plus

makes 856 Watt

I expect better colors with the increased light.

The tank is since 2 years a stone coral reef. Before it was a fish/soft coral tank.

Quote:

No...I feed one, up to two times per day (mysis, artemias, cyclop eeze...)

Hi Steve

with bacteria and bactofood in combination with the DSB, phosphate is not a problem. Sometimes I use rowaphos (If the phosphate is higher then 0.02mg/l)

Zeo also use bacs and food (in combination with zeoliths and the zeoloith filter)

The bacs wich i'm using probably have same specifications (denitrification + nitrification)

I'm using as filter media:

LR
and DSB

Gorgeous tank!!!

For your T5s, are they running on individual reflectors or one single reflector?

@ Lance

thank you very much

@szesteve

Now i have independent reflectors for the 54 Watt bulbs and one single reflector for the 80 Watt bulbs.
With the new light-system i'll also have single reflectors for 8x80 Watt bulbs (i hope, that I recieve the new ATI power module in the next few days)
