12hr cycle with 3hr ramp up, hold peak for 6hrs, then 3hr ramp down. Going on 2 1/2 years with schedule on my 22g sps nano.
No, just the Kessil's. The T5's only come on during peak hours (6hrs).The the pic above are from kessils supplemented with T5's?
Correct, I added the T5's a year ago. I started with a 2 bulb retrofit, then I added the sunpower at the end of March this year. I was going to add another 160 initially (had two 160's at the time), but opted for the T5 retrofit due to cost. I thought my upgrade to my 90g was going to happen sooner, but I was busy with work and had to postpone until now. I'm still a month or so away before I can move everything to the 90g and didn't want my sps to suffer from shading in such a cramped environment (I need to stop adding more sps). My thought was T5 would be a good temp solution until the 90g was ready, instead of buying more 160's and reselling later. I could've added more Kessil's to start, had I known it was going to take me this long, but you know what they say, hindsight is 20/20.But the corals are grown with kessils and t5's? Meaning that tank is not lit by JUST the kessils.
Your tank is too blue.
Excuse the crappy iPhone pix.
It's actually not that blue in person. Your typical phone camera doesn't adjust for white balance very well. Also, I've snorkeled in Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean and you would be surprised how blue the water actually is. Of course, this all depends on the depth.
Basically the same schedule. I have 4 160's over a 75g at 40% color and 70% intensity with a t5 supplement that comes on at peak and stays on for 5 hours.12hr cycle with 3hr ramp up, hold peak for 6hrs, then 3hr ramp down. Going on 2 1/2 years with schedule on my 22g sps nano.
