I was concerned there was something missing from the LED's and I wanted more sideways light(if you know what Im trying to say)to reach the sides and bases of the corals. Led light tends to be focused straight down so the tops of the corals look much better than the sides, however we mostly view from the sides. I added 1 39w KZ Superblue And 1 KZ Fiji Purple and I can't believe the difference. Corals are getting so much more colour all around not just the tops. I am going to add a 39w Blue+ also once I get it so all the spectrum should be covered.
Thanks for the compliment, I redid mine after being on these forums, so inspiring. Yes I putty everything now, everything is secure otherwise my little bulldozers (snails) always not stuff over.
Thankyou Sahin for the nice words. The background is the same, but with the t5 supplement they illuminate from the closest they can be mounted to the front angled towards the back and lights up the sides and basses of the corals including the back, so it appears blue.It is still not as blue as I would like, I now wish I had done a blue background as that is what you see if you are diving on a real reef.
how long have you had them all together?
Thankyou, that is a real compliment.
Thank you very much. Had the clowns about 3 months now.
Thank you!
any trouble at all? is there a dominant pair within the group?
Because zeo is so effective with nutrient control, even Po4 consistently at 0.00 on a hanna meter I began feeding the fish heavier, with still 0.00 Po4 I think the corals are getting more food(fish poo) combined with the right intensity on the LED's(so easy to blast the heck out of them) and using the balling method to keep the params as stable as I can, the colours naturally are getting more vivid. I don't actually dose much in the way of zeo, the usual carbon, bak, coralvite once a week, amino acids once a week, regular water changes. Though I have seen a vast improvement since adding the T5's a KZ Superblue & Fiji purple, hope that somewhat answers your question.
Very much appreciate your kind words.
Thankyou clown dude, I will try to get some pics for you, however they are mounted on a Tek reflector that is suspended by cables from the ceiling no fixture didn't have room, and are mounted as close to the front of the aquarium as possible in front of the AI's angled slightly towards the back, picture trying to light the frontside of the coral more than just the top
There is definitely a pecking order, but they have all claimed a little area that they stay unless I feed them. I have 1 that I've had for a long time now that is a good size that I thought would be the boss, but asks like the new ones don't exist.
