I love to compare the FTS with the previous one.
Lots of good progress since post #271.

I don't see it having the coverage for the upgrade. I came across it used so I won't take too big of a hit if I end up selling it when I break down the tank. The upgrade will be to individual large pendants and the kessils. I found some really clean lumenbright large reflectors that I may try. I need to mock them up over a square on the floor to see if they spread the 38" front to back. By eye it looks like it will.Hell, I believed the Kessils were the way to go, but glad to see you got what you always preferred.
Stunning corals and photographs as always.
Is 14K the lamp you will us with the upgrade as well? Wondering how it will look with the XHO strips.
So lighting period will be 9 hours in total?
Oh yeah! Suddenly my reef started growing. I check alk a couple times a week and have to crank up the kameor pump a few ml a minute every week. I'll have to keep a close eye on it now, hopefully it continuesI love to compare the FTS with the previous one.

Thank you!Beautiful reef you have there!
Dude, that just looks awesome! I can't wait to get my 14k's up, just need to buy some stuff first.Ahh filters no longer needed
I decided to swap out my g5 blues for a 36" reefbrite hybrid system. These are under 250w 14k Hamilton lamps driven by the RB ballasts. It has the xho strips but I stll need to set them up.
I'm 12" off the top of tank and will be running at 8 hours with a short 30 of XHO on both ends. My next system will be MH so I'm acclimating them back to MH now, so it's one less change when it's time to swap over.
I think you’re going to love it. I think I’m going to experience a lull in growth because it’s a pretty drastic change. One day of tinkering and a day of new lighting and I’m up a bit on my dkh. About 1 point. That being said I haven’t had polyp extension like this to date. My wife asked “is that as blue as it gets? And had a huge smile when I said yuuuup!Dude, that just looks awesome!

That's great! Yeah, there's absolutely no substitute for halides and the color, details and contrast are second to none. It's the closest thing to having the sun light your tank. I'm calling Tullio tomorrow or Thursday to chat about a setup, so hopefully I'll finalize everything soon. I'll also look into the fans as well. I'm hoping to find 24v fans that I can hook up directly to my apex, especially now that I have two eb832's. Noise is definitely a concern too.I think you’re going to love it.

Once everything settles on I’m going to get some pictures, tho fish are unreal
Yeah these noctua fans get the job done and have that dust/waterproof rating. The noise isn't bad until you get more than one running then the frequencies get all weird and pulsate. I'm trying to find a high CFM box/flat fan that I can build a shelf off the wall and move some real air without much noise.That's great!
