Nice video, thanks. Definitely time for some corals now :rolleyes

The Tunze 6065's seem to be giving a fair bit of flow in the tank - are you happy with them?

im not sure whats the tuning in p1 mode. but it looks like it hits the peak at midday timing and gradually reduce intensity. the blue looks really full it seems. :)

hi, guys. 31/3/12 time for an update. another new addition a pink tip frogspawn.

lights in p1 mode. running at 12 hours daylight period.

MagicJ · Mar 31, 2012

Nice video, thanks mate. Everything looks nice and clean with no major algae outbreaks from what I can see.

Well done.

'vspec' · Mar 31, 2012

wow. i'll agree, very crisp template.

I'm assuming purple up is the flavour of the month.
You know I once knew a girl called coralline, she was smothering as well :confused:

thanks guys. im very impressed with illumagic. this unit puts out awesome lightning. the fishs and corals all came so alive. it looks different from recording. i record it with a sony ericsson x 10 hand phone. my green polyp montipora was bleached at the bottom edge and now it starting to grow back into colour.:)

Sarg · Apr 1, 2012

Agree with the other guys it's lookin very neat indeed!!

Your live rock is beautiful to look at on its own! So damned purple!

whispers... I think you hit the wrong like button for the guys above ;)
