Looks great, what kind of light are you using?

Neil Fox · Apr 14, 2017

Thanks JALIASC. I have a Current USA unit that I added two 450nm strips to, there is also a 12K Fluval Par lamp that is supplementing things a little bit. I actually did a big overhaul. The SPS corals were getting too close together and I actually lost my Cali Tort. I moved a lot of them into the frag tank and changed the rockwork around so I have more room. I may post a pic tomorrow.

Changed things up a little. Some corals were getting out of hand and the rock was to much. It's a little more open. I moved some of the corals to my display and fragged a couple of them. It's a little different but more open. Sorry about the washed out pic.

nice...

I see a few mods here I think.

Custom skimmer and skimmer spillage jar?
Extra light on back for birdnest?

Q - How do you like the PICO Evo-Mag Powerhead? I am assuming you have the two on a timer/controller to simulate wave.

Thanks Reef,

The PICOs are just about the only thing I could find that fit in such a small tank. They have a tendency to be a little noisy, mostly when you try to reduce the flow. If they are wide open they are fairly quiet. I actually modified the LED's quite a bit, I added an extra 12 watts of blues. I still supplement with the extra light, mostly it just looks nice since it gives a little shimmer. Mainly it's there because it mounts to the back of the tank with adhesive tape and it is stuck on there really good LOL.
