I wish mine was cleaner, I have no skills with appearance.

Looks pretty clean to me. What’s the display look like?

 

[john90009]

Here’s a daylight shot that’s as close to what the eye sees. Just started to move corals over.

Love the NSA! Super nice! What kind of lights are those!

 

[john90009]

Thank you, they are two xr30 g5s. They have a shroud over them to cut out on the light spill

 

[Adam L]

2 XR30s. I had a 15 so just got another. WB website said it was enough. What made you go with 30s? How do you like those shrouds? Not seen them before.

 

[john90009]

I plan to move my acros from the other tank and a lot of them will require strong light all over. With 2 xr15s you will be able to get really strong areas directly under the light but as you move away from it the par will drop. I needed a consistent line of par across my tank. Here is a quick picture of my par, the low numbers at the top are actually the point where my frag racks will sit in the back.

Love the WB tanks I have WB 100.3.

I had one XR30 and two XR15's on my WB 100.3. still a lot of shadows. Now I have two XR15's and a 4 tube T5 hybrid very bright and still getting the the LED shimmer which I like.

T5 hybrid was something I was looking at. Do you have any pics?

 

[john90009]

I would opt for the hybrid, would also retrofit reefbrites bars on the outside of the t5 to really make it overkill. Where the tank is now tho we wanted to keep the tank clean looking with the arms and not hang the light from the ceiling . The hybrid would give all around the best coverage

Here’s a picture through my webcam. There is only one wire and overall this setup look slicker than just the Radions.

 

[Adam L]

Update. Just moved everything.

 

[diana a]

Looks very nice! Best of luck with it

 

[iTzJu]

nice build!

 

[Adam L]

Still having hard time getting measurable phosphate but coals have good color.

 

[john90009]

Tank looks good and corals are growing. Don’t worry too much about the numbers then. Eventually the algea on your rocks will die back and free up the nutrients in your water column.

Some more Fish would add more and give your coral extra food!!

 

[Adam L]

Still looking at some. Stocked up too fast at beginning and got a tang with ich. Killed most of my fish. Sucked it up and bought a uv. All fish been good since but new powder brown gets some white spots like once a week then they go away. Bad yesterday so feed them some metroplex. Way better this morning.

 

[ericrodriguez]

I have metronidazole. I’m not sure where I have it, but I’ll look for it tonight if you want some and mix it with the food!!!

 

[Adam L]

i think metroplex has metronidazole in it. Thank you!
