I should also mention I added some reefbrite XHO LED strips to my frag system. Hence the pop

Your pics are incredible.

Scythanith · 01/19/2017, 05:29 PM

Thanks, there is always room for improvement though!

Scythanith · 02/09/2017, 11:17 PM

A couple new shots.

VanJuKy · 02/10/2017, 12:21 AM

Very nice!

yifan917 · 02/10/2017, 12:38 AM

Very nice indeed!

dave.m · 02/10/2017, 04:52 AM

Whoa! Is that a Liopropoma? Really nice pics, Scott.

Scythanith · 02/10/2017, 12:27 PM

Thanks everyone. Hey Dave, yup it's a candy basslet (Liopropoma carmabi). Had him for a couple years now.

scar79 · 02/10/2017, 02:58 PM

Beautiful shots, especially of the candy. Spectacular fish, and representative of how they look in person. Many shots I've seen of them don't capture that almost fluorescent deep blue/purple which looks so cool in contrast with the orange body.

Great thread, don't know how I've missed it for so long! I hate when I starting reading these and the OP never posts a real update after the first batch of corals go in or the tank plainly crashes. Glad to see you're still rolling. The tank is looking beautiful.

Scythanith · 02/10/2017, 05:50 PM

Thanks scar. I always try to be honest with my images. If I am playing around with the images I usually say as much in the post.

I see you mention Radion & T5 on your system. Did you start that way or end up adding the T5's?

Nick James · 02/26/2017, 04:47 PM

I wish there was a like button... I'd have broken it on your thread though...

Scythanith · 02/28/2017, 03:06 PM

haahaa thanks Nick! Smugmug is down right now and all my image links are broken. Something to do with the cloudflare hosting and virus.

I added the T5 after the fact. I never liked the level shadowing and how dim LEDs appear despite how much light they're actually providing. T5 solves both grievances. I can't speak to the direct affect on the corals/growth because I added them when I restarted my system

Scythanith · 03/06/2017, 03:28 PM

I think if I were to buy new mitras LX7's I'd buy 4 instead of the 3 I have now.

Scythanith - can you add the dates...nice progress shots.

VanJuKy · 03/17/2017, 01:50 PM

Hey Scott, what is your current lighting arrangement. I believe Radion's and T5? Does it look like that in real life as opposed to camera capture? It looks really nice and exactly what I would like to achieve. I was thinking of adding T5's along with my Radions.

I have 3 GHL Mitras, 4x48" T5, 2 x 24" T5. Arranged like this:

------------
------------ ||
M M M ||
------------ ||
------------

I use only blue spectrum T5's, and run a pretty full colour gamut with the LED's. The pictures look pretty spot on, aside from looking brighter overall in person. It also really depends on what time of day I try to take the shots.

In retrospect, I would plan to have T5's and LED's right off the hop. The T5's were an after though and in my system a necessity. If I did it from scratch I'd use 4 LED bodies and 8 x 36" long T5's (4 on each long side side).
