looks great mate. waiting for it to all grow in. give me your hammer haha

 

[Luke]

Thanks mate,
The snowflake eel looks small there , I will get a pic of him tomorrow :)

 

[MagicJ]

Ummm, where is the snowflake. Is that his head near the chromus?

 

[MTG]

when do you plan on adding the other 150w unit?

 

[Luke]

Ummm, where is the snowflake. Is that his head near the chromus?

Yeah, that's it mate ,

i think i will add a 120w of 1 watt LED the other side , 150w 3w led seems a little bit much for Rics , That way i should be able to keep anything, high light lovers to the left lower to the right . that's my plan anyway , Then again i still might just get 150w and not have rics :)

 

[MTG]

so the rics dont seem to like it? 150w of led is a fair bit in a small area. its a bumber they dont make them 90w but in the 150 w case so they are more spread out

I like the depth and size, looks like a rockwall urging you to swim around to find out whats behind, good one.....

Hey LUKE, very nice tank and aquascape! What is the dimension of this tank? Now I have company using LED lights for reef keeping! Just wondering what brand of LED light do you use on this tank?

 

[marineclass]

I agree with matt - this is going to look great once its grows out a bit. looking good luke

 

[Snik66]

nice aquascape:p i want one...

 

[Jonny Glover]

Good job mate! put sps on the top half and let it grow out and it will look really good! The hammer coral is a ripper as well as the acans

 

[MTG]

im trying to keep sps to the top level of my tank due to the fact i want it growing upwards towards the surface so far im realy happy with it. i want it hammer city on the substrate

Hi mate,
The tank is 1200 mm long 780 mm wide by 700 mm deep
Atm im using BSLED light but im about to buy something else , Not sure what yet

 

[MTG]

any hints? :drool

 

[slin1977]

I am also a Illumagic customer...have been for over a year,
You will be in safe hands with LFSdirect too. There is a huge difference between your current LED and a system designed by reefkeeping engineers.:drool

 

[Luke]

New ric and a rainsford Goby

 

[Luke]

Some SPS , Which are a bit too close to each other, I should fix that soon :oops:
I also bought some more Acans ,

 

[Luke]

I need to learn how to take pictures :( :confused:
