Dsnakes IM Fusion 20

[Dsnakes]

I’ve got the loop system on my IM 30L and have the lights sitting flush on top.
What light schedule are you running for colour/% intesity? I am still experimenting with my schedule...

I honestly have no idea. What sized lights do you have? I went with the mounts so I could adjust height and also work in the tank with the light on. I found that easier than with the little wire peg legs they came with. As for color/intensity.... I can't be of much help. I am running whatever stock program it came with. It comes on at 0600, seems to be an hour ramp up. Not sure what intensities it does throughout the day, but lights start ramping down around 1700 and are blues and moonlight until midnight. Then they turn off for 6 hours.

That's a good thought. I didn't think about that, it makes sense. It actually moved a few inches, which surprised me.

Mine did too.

I know this is strange, but all of my plates move to be with each other. They always want to touch. I'm thinking it's because of their ability to sexually reproduce? Just a guess.

Bow chicka bow wow...

 

[Dsnakes]

Set up the second light mount today. I'm happy with the results. Holds the lights even.

 

[Dsnakes]

No updates today, but I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

[WWIII]

Merry Christmas!

Noticed my Scoly was being stung by something this morning. You can see the skeleton on the left side. I moved him over and hope it recovers.

I believe this guy is the culprit. I noticed he has a couple longer sweepers that have started to come out from the back side. They seem larger in diameter and have a more pronounced tip. Didn't get a picture of them though.

I have the 36 inch with the two strips and they fit perfectly on the IM30L. I have been considering the mounting brackets though as it would be more convenient than lifting them on/off every time you want to get in the tank.

I have been ramping my light schedule up slowly but i do like the look of more actinic and less white. Hard to argue the schedule you are using with how well your corals are doing. I have managed to keep algae at bay with not going over 40% on the intensity for the whites. so far the LPS seem to be growing well but the tank is only 3 mos old at the moment.

Did some cleaning today. Here is a picture from tonight

Wow love the rock flowers

Wow love the rock flowers

Thanks! There is a third one on the back of the rocks, orange with green tentacles. I wish he would've stayed up front. Oh well, I can peek at him from the side glass

Look really nice.

 

[Dsnakes]

Look really nice.

Thanks @KJ ! I am really contemplating buying a camera finally. My ancient iPhone camera is terrible!

 

[Dsnakes]

Exciting day ahead!

Don't worry, there is much much more than just this awesome green plate! Still dipping and acclimating

 

[Dsnakes]

New crowded FTS

My first 2 Trachys

Little green plate and big green plate

First of probably many ricordeas!

Probably 15 different zoas, some digis, stylos, and red dragon acro as well, but too hard to get a good photo of them!

Also a few montis and my first chalice!

 

[Dsnakes]

Love at first sight. I hope the Trachy will put up with them. You can see one clown in the right side of him snuggled up. The other swam up when I tried to take the picture.

 

[Dsnakes]

Trachy opened up a lot larger than I was expecting. Caught it latching on to my poor Scoly. Moved it away as much as I could. Going to do some rearranging so everybody plays nice.

 

[arnallop3]

Nice additions very beautiful corals. My brother has a trachy and those things expand a lot from one day to the next depending how happy or how they like the light. His closes a bit under acitinics.

 

[Dsnakes]

I swear this thing is bigger every time I look at it

 

[K. Steven]

Great looking trachys, that blue one is huge! I've always liked the look of the IM Fusion 20.
