Well today I went on a venture and built a new canopy from my tank to house T fives and LEDs.
It's going to be 4 bulbs plus my Vegas The t5s are 36 inch 39 W bulbs. Not sure of the exact color set up yet.here are a couple of pictures of the building in progress.

Well I did it took the leap today and built a canopy and now I have t5 led Combo.
I went with 36"-39 watt bulbs right now I only have two coral plus, I didn't have end caps for the other two bulbs. Here is a picture without t5 and then with.
Hopefully my corals will like the change. The...
Whites at 60 percent, all Blues at 100percent, and green and red 25 percent.
I have played with other levels but when I take the whites over 60 I don't like the way the tank looks.
The only thing I ever bleached was a challis all others seem like they could handle even higher levels.

I have two Vegas over my 90 at 12" above the water and for the most part I'm not happy with the color. Vegas come with 80 degree optics and I tried taking them off but then there was no protection for the bulbs and electronics. About 6 months ago I tried to use. Par meter to see what was going...

I'm in let me know when I haven't seen Feng since the meeting at Brian's house. I also have to bring Brian his Hole saws he let me borrow to drill my tank. Dual purpose stop.
I'm looking to sell my two AI Vegas with touch controller.
They are about a year old and in excellent condition they have preformed very well and I have had success with them in both growth and color but I think I want to plunge back into the MH world.
Asking $650.00 for both and controller.
