Very nice looks good. I really like it. Your corals look great as well !

Of course, hate when iPhones do that lol.

What's your lighting schedule if you don't mind?

My T5's come on at 10am then the Halides come on at 1pm, at 7pm the halides turn off and then at 10pm the T5's turn off. And thanks for the compliments!

I love it, it does seem to work pretty well. Lastnight I just picked up a Reefbrite strip and added it to the tank to give those corals some POP! You definitely do not get that eye popping florescence from T5's or Halides so added some blues for some flare!

Interesting I would have to check that out then! They aren't too expensive as well

No pics of that setup. I hate recommending something I don't actually use, but my setup is with mogul bulbs. If I were to be using DE bulbs this is the combo I would use...based on experience with those particular t5 bulbs when I ran t5, and based on Sanjay and Paletta's advice and recommendation on the ushio 14k for their growing power.

Oh ok thanks! Looks like i'll be going with some 14ks first
