Big E is using 4xT5s. 2xATI Coral Plus and 2xATI Blue Plus. Awesome colours on those sps.

Wow incredible acros with a 4 bulb T5 system, I'd love to hear more about this tank, such as feeding and dosing method if any.

Great pics, thank you for sharing!

Edit: it's also amazing to me that the clown and nem crab get along, looks sweet!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Like sahin said I'm running 4 T5's on an ice cap ballast. 2 blue+ & 2 coral+

It's basically an old school Berlin sytle setup---

barebottom
oversized skimmer
passive bag of carbon in the sump
change 10% water weekly using IO

I am dosing 15ml of vinegar which is about 1/3 the amonut that most dosers use when it comes to vinegar or vodka dosing. I'm doing it more for colors than for nutrient export. There's some scientific evidence that corals & anemones utilize the acetate to increase zoo growth.
It has really done wonders for the reds in my Malu nem & maybe red acros.

I don't use any other export methods other than what's listed & don't feed the corals, just the fish.

I don't have a full tank shot as most of the corals are small & you can barely see them when I zoom out. I'll post a FTS in a few more months. In the mean time here's a few more individual shots-----

Lime in the Sky & orange monti turgescens
