Took a frag or two from every SPS colony in the tank. The rack is nearly stuffed full, but excited to see how they do under the ATI T5's over time.





 
wow very colorful! I'll take a frag of two of everything in your system as well to see how they do :becky: lol is this tank plumbed into your DT? and what lights do you have on the DT that these are originally coming from?
 
What is the yellow bulb you have? Any par reading?
 
Very curious what that yellow bulb is as well.
 
Here is the light set up for the frag tank.



The order is not accurate to the photo, but the bulbs are.

It gonna need a bigger rack lol

And HOLY PAR BATMAN!!!
An 8 bulb T5 with a reefbrite XHO on both sides in that small of a tank!?!

They're gonna grow an inch a day!

Tape a couple Radion Pros to the sides and front of the tank too lol.
Try and get rid of all those pesky shadows!

Side note: I wonder if anyone's done that...

Great frags and nice lights ! I'm following along

It must look like looking in a bottle of windex with all the blue bulbs? Wouldn't a more white spectrum be better for growth

Well The chlorophyll absorption spectrum has The hugest peak around 350nm to 450nm wich is coverde by the blue light. :) The rest oft The spectrum is likely to promote the growth of unwantet pigmentations (so you can use it for manipulating the coloration).
 
Very smart idea especially when you have valuable pieces. I recently started doing this too but my rack is to small..
