Reefbum, what is the benefit of having a staircase frag set up versus the flat eggcrate look?

 

[sciknen]

I would think its because some corals like higher light than other.

I run a 10 bulb ATI Powermodule which is about 16" over the tank since it's so shallow. I run a mix of 4 ATI Blue+, 4 ATI AquaBlue Special, and 2 ATI super Actinics. I also have a 36" Reefbrite LED strip over the tank. In this picture, it is taken with just actinics and LED's. I typically do not snap pics under this lighting scheme as it doesn't give the "true" colors of what you would see in your tank (if you didn't have the same lighting setup). I took these pics a few weeks ago and I just happened to take them during this photoperiod of time.

I do have some colorful stuff in there, but the LED's definitely bring out more colors in the photos.

Thanks Nano! I got my tank from GlassCages and it was surprisingly affordable. I, personally, would not recommend GC's for larger tanks, but they did a good job with this one. For those who aren't familiar with them, they are based in TN and they will ship but it's a lot more expensive. Instead, they send a truck around the country and setup shop at different cities on specified dates. You show up and pick up your tank. It's a weird process but it works pretty well. I had to drive about 1.5 hours to pick mine up.

If anyone has any pricing questions on what I paid for mine, please take it to pm. I am in no way promoting GlassCages by any stretch! But I think it's good for folks to know that having a frag tank can be affordable. Let's face it, we're all hopelessly addicted to this hobby ; )

Hope that helps.
