We are leaning toward MH, VHO, LED for our build also. How many hours a day do you have your lights on full blast?

Beautiful mate. An absolute cracker. Are you able to give me an email address for the company that completed your new rocks?

Cheers

Hi Chingchai,

What's your process for chaining your MH bulbs and acclimatising your corals to new bulbs?.

Do you change after 12 months?

Do you raise them higher, or do you run them for a shorter period when you first change them?. If so, how much do you increase them by each week etc?.

Or do you just change them and leave them as normal…

Thanks
Mo

WOW! What a lineup! Wish I could come see your presentation and meet you in person! I'm sure it will be a packed house, for everyone wants to hear and see the breakdown of perhaps the most viewed system in the modern world! I hope you have safe travels !

Hi Mo,

Yes. I change MH bulbs once a year.
No acclimate at all.

Cheers,

Amazing photography and tank.
Do you regularly syphon your sand bed to keep it this clean?
