I'm so slacking here lol...haven't had any updates in a long time so here are a few.

Just re-scapes today, changed all Marco rocks to Tonga...took me almost 7 hours to work on the scapes but it turned out better than I thought.

Thanks for the kind words guys. That piece of rock alone is 75lbs...so heavy that needs two people to carry and put in the tank. Changing the scapes around made the tank looks brand new lol

Thanks for your kind words.

These are the bulbs I currently have it on. It's an ATI dimmable with 8 bulbs

Front to back
Blue plus
Purple plus
Super actinic
Coral plus
Blue plus
Purple plus
Super actinic
Blue plus

I don't have any led add-in to it. I might eventually add in some reefbright strips but not needed at a moment.

Those pics came straight from my iPhone 6, no adjustments on color.

Your reef is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your bulb preference.

What about the percentage you run them on?

Thank you Rev, that means a lot.

I run all bulbs around 10 hours a day. Started with two super actinic bulbs on one channel for 45 mins then the other channel came on. It ramps up to 60% in mid day then revert back....pretty simple I guess lol

The reason I ran it only 60% because I don't have much sps and the fixture is only 13" above water so it has plenty of par especially on a 8bulbs fixture.

I used to have hydra aid rapidled fixtures but t5s seem to be the one that stick with me. Yearly bulbs replacement seem to be an issues for me but other than that ATI T5s is a way to go.
