Schnitzel's SPS

[SchnitzelReef]

I am really thinking about installing the reefbrights in my tank . I currently run two 250watt radiums with T5 supplements. 2 blue plus and two actinic. I am just struggling with which RB to go with but I think I am leaning towards 2 XHO’s. One in front and one behind the MHs. My tank is 48x36x24. Schnitzel, do you run the RBs with the available controller interface?

I don’t run the controller. I actually bought it and it’s sitting in my shed, I never ended up hooking it up. Normally for a 36” tank I would say 2 XHOs would be better, but 2 MHs and 4 T5s is a lot of light already. I don’t know if you really need 2. It will probably look more uniform, but it already sounds like your light setup is enough for your size tank.

Stunning tank.
One question about the calcium reactor and media.
You changed out the media once for TLF.
I guess it worked but was it so different to the previous media? Longer lasting? Better coral results?

Honestly i didn’t see much, if any difference. I ended up buying the 50lb box of reborn media. I go through it so fast, it’s convenient having a huge box of the stuff.

I had the 624, just upgraded to the 818. (They don’t make an 824).

Do you notice anything different about mine?? He just came out with a new design.

I bought mine in person from Serder in Reefapalooza Orlando . He changed designs after that again ?

Here my 818, from 2 years ago.
Seems diameter has changed a bit !?

The pipe no longer goes in through the lid, it goes in from the side. Dont think it’s supposed to change performance, its supposed to make maintenance a bit easier. Whenever you need to refill the reactor with media, you don’t have to take the piping apart.

Now I see ! Must have made that change in the last 2-3 months . Sounds like maintenance on larger models will bebreeze as you said .

Yeah I got plenty of light but I was going to replace the T5s with the RB in hopes of more pop. I can't make up my mind.

SHES ALIVE!!!!

Wires are a disaster right now. Decided to move my EB8s next to the reactor, and now I have a huge rats nest. Gunna spend some time cleaning those up next.

It’s becoming harder and harder to take decent pics of my corals. They are growing right to the top of the water, and I don’t have room with my light fixtures to get my camera at a good angle. This is the best I could do.

@SchnitzelReef - This is reefing on a different level all together . People show multi colored rainbow frags but what you have demonstrated here takes years of hard work ! i have seen many amazing reefs but not many can come close to this matured beauty !

If you ever decide to sell a few frags - I am very interested in the Somewhere Over The Rainbow , Sapphire Millepora and Jared's Tricolor Prostrata ..

Abhishek

Love all those millis! the Sapphire looks electric.
It is always a pleasure to view your thread.

 

[lolgranny]

Definitely some great photos bud!

How are you liking the new reactor? I’ve been thinking of upgrading as my old one keeps getting clogged up.

If you ever decide to ship I’d love to get a few pieces from you as well.

Stunning animals as always, lust the peach mille! :)
