Hi guys and girls,

I recently added a twin t5 high output light to the tank.

So i now have 2x75 watt leds. royal blue/10k cree and 2x54watt t5's

The pics are just with t5's on.

actinic and purple plus, no one had coral plus and blue plus in stock.. POO!

Zeovit still going well. Just changed the stones and phos as on 0.011 phosphorous which i think calculates to 0.03 phosphate.

Looks good mate. Expecially the reds.
if your tank gets anymore color I will nominate it to be the next back drop for the next Disney movie.

My husband's response to the pics in this thread "why doesn't our tank look like that?". He then asked about zeovit, whether it's more money, more effort or both and suddenly seems interested for once! This from the man who has promised me a water change every day this week and it still hasn't happened...

It is astonishing how colorful the corals are. I can't believe how brilliant it all looks.

Hi Oscar,

Stalking your tank here as well! I see you added some T5's. Have you got a pic of what they look like? I'm thinking of doing the same to try add some more light / fiji pink.

Cheers mate
