Nice tank ! I have the same one , there are unique challenges that had to be overcome mainly sump space lol . I run a radion gen 3 and 4 t5 mainly sps.

Looks great... yea sump is challenging for sure.. I can't believe all I have crammed in there haha...

How do you have your lights mounted??

 

[Streetdoc77]

I have the radion hanging from the ceiling and the two t 5 units mounted on the edges of the tank , one in front and one in back with the radion in the middle . There are so many shadows with a tall tank the t5s became necessary , once I put them on the was a dramatic improvement with growth and color.

 

[Streetdoc77]

here you can see where the t5s are placed .

Quick shot of flame hawk hanging out by the ORA hypnea macro that is really growing well and getting a nice blue color (hard to capture in pic)

I am running one hydra 26hd...I have my blues at about 75% white at about 35 and others around 10-15...

I am about to add a second 26hd for more even coverage.. would I need to lower the totals for both lights by a percentage? Or run acclimation mode or what?

 

[Streetdoc77]

I run my radion gen 3 at 70% with lenses and started it out at 50%.
Led's will smoke your corals if there too intense . With two I would probably start them at 50% and acclimate until you hit hat sweet spot of color and growth ... It will take some time to work out witch color ratios are best . The main things to look for are if the corals are closing up and the tips are changing colors . As long as you add intensity over time you shouldn't have any issues . Have you given any thought to adding t5 ?

Getting better and better!

 

[GOSKN5]

Thanks rev...

 

[GOSKN5]

Got the twin hydra HDs going... coverage looks nice... as things grow in that second hydra is gonna be important I think..

turned them down some and will keep any eye on things...

 

[GOSKN5]

Stuff still growing...

 

[cameronh]

Nice man! Tank looks great!

 

[pelphrey]

Your stand confirms I will paint my next stand white. Everything we have is also white so my stand sticks out.

 

[GOSKN5]

Thanks yall.. this one was black... wife insisted on white haha...

 

[GOSKN5]

Removed the flame hawk as he was not nice to new additions (knew should have added last)... plan to get a few new pieces this week.. hopefully some gorgs
