Hi all,

its been a while since ive posted an update on here.

A little has changed with the tank, usual coral loses here and there and a few new ones..
Also the Gen tang went to a new home which was sad. I am looking to downsize in the near future when i cbf...

I'm running all in one bio pellets now with great success, and also in the process of removing the T5 hybrids and replacing with all LED's to save some $$$ long term on power. Keeping an 8ft tank going on T5's is an expensive ongoing task that unfortunately i cannot sustain!

Anyway here's a few pics from today.

Dammm you John . Even your golden retriever has better color than mine.
p.s dont go to LED's...don't do it colors won't be the same.

not sure what's going on lately but a few of us have had issues with RTN/STN in the last 6 months

Wow ... I can only hope that mine ends up half as nice as yours.

Fishy heaven, we can all dream, that's awesome.

Leds? Welcome to the club! It will be interesting seeing how your tank goes on them.

Amazing shots, simply a stunning tank!

What leds are you planning to get?

 

[vpreef]

Not too sure on the leds atm. Probably orpheks id say

 

[thepubenator]

hey John when you were using led in the past, mitras memory, was there significant variance in growth rate?

 

[chimaera]

Stunning as always. Will be interesting to see how things change, if at all, when you switch to all LED.

Also ... wtf is going on with that ric?? Have never seen a standard ric bubble up like that.

hey John when you were using led in the past, mitras memory, was there significant variance in growth rate?

Yeah, i had 4 x mitras on this originally. No difference in growth just better colour from the T5's on some corals. Mainly reds are nicer, Leds tend to turn reds into orange.

Chim, must be the steroids im feeding it :D

 

[Sarg]

Holy cow an actual update! Possibly more impressive than the tank!

Looking sweet as usual!!
