Hey Lawrence, tanks for stopping by I've seen your thread and you've got a monster of a tank going there. Love the use of the kiddie pool during the transfer. I'll try to get some updated FTS over the weekend. Believe me "ain't no big thing" though.

Dan, subscribed your thread for while. Great tank and fantasic seleciton of fish, keep up the good work!
I am planning the lighting of my future tank update, which will be a 48" X 30" (D) X 20" (H) rimless. Most likely light will be either 10 lamp ATI PM or Gman Spectra 2X 250MH 4X T5, how do you like the spectra so far? From the spec and picture, I gesitmate the reflector is about 15" X 15" is it close? It appears to have good size reflector comparing to other MH/t5 fixture, that's why I like it (plus mogul socket). My concern on spectra is no active cooling will T5 get too hot and loss some performance what do you think? oops I almost forgot to ask you what is current bulb combination? Thanks.

The 5 I had before really didnt bother a thing. They would quarrel amongst themselves but never bothered other fish. But I only had them for like 8 months and they were still less then 2"

Very nice Dan. How big is it? I've never got one since they are one of the largest Cirrhilabrus.

Wow the combo should pop up color nicely! How do you like the growth on Radium? I remember you had amazing growth with previous G-man 14K.
I will be glad to take your spectra if I decide to go with MH/T5 fixture, I am new to SPS an trying all-t5 and Radium to see which one is for me and determine the light for my upgrade, here is my tank update thread. My bro go to socal from time to time, if I will buy the spectra from you I can have him pick up for me. I will be interested to see how you corals doing under LED, you have awesome collection of SPS, if you can have a successful LED SPS. I believe lot of reefers will follow.

I just heard an interesting stat tonight. Barry Zito in 108-6 when he receives 4+ runs and 24-2 with the Giants.

I like the Radiums and the growth has been pretty good but not as much with the G-Mans BUT I had tank issues just as I installed the Radiums so its not a fair comparison. I'll check out your build thread and see what your up too as soon as life slows down...maybe tonight. As far as LEDs, I'm no pioneer and I've shown that its very dangerous to follow my lead

Hey Dave, it was nice to finally see your tank today. Your tank is amazing with all those LE corals.
Thank you so much for that filefish! He's happily picking away at aiptasia already in a 5g tank I placed him in (with heater and filter of course). Im scared to put him in my tank but I think the cleaning station idea should work. Did he start picking at your sps polyps only after the aiptasia was all gone? How long did it take for him to clear your entire tank of aiptasia? Thanks again. |
