SPS 25 Lagoon build diary

[RedneckReefer68]

I this tank 3-4 months ago after a forced down grade from a leaking 40b. Last year was rough on my sps from battling aefw, aefw with Dino's and then Dino's again. I ended up having to frag frags to save some things. Everything has been recovering nicely over the last few months now.

Lighting- 250w radium and 2 BML 12" Actinic strips
Stock return pump still
Water movent- RW8
In tank floss baskets
Reef Angel controller

Following along. How are you liking the radion?

Tell you the truth I love them.. After a week a fox fire frag that I never have been able to cookout up is getting it's highlights and turning reddish instead of poopish

update? Did you go with xr15 or xr30?

I actually went to an ATI unit about 2 weeks ago. I loved the radion look, but something in the back of my mind said switch back. [emoji23]

Nice work! Does the radium get the tank pretty hot?

 

[RedneckReefer68]

Thanks...Yes it did even I ran it. I have been using an Ati 6 bulb for a few weeks now
