Sunny's 350G build

[SPotter]

What size t5 fixture did you put on the tank sunny?

 

[Monroereef]

ATI Sunpower 8 bulb - 60 inch. Plus my 2 bulb retro.

 

[SPotter]

are you getting enough coverage and par? I would think the 60 inch wouldn't have a enough coverage for a tank your size. Its 8ft long right?

I have been asked many times if I have any named SPS. Well I bought some in past years and never really cared what they were as far as I liked them. So I was curious on what I bought in the past and what has actually survived and grown into colonies. After checking all my PMs and emails in past 3 years, here is what I came up with. Correct me if you think something is not what I think it is. I crosschecked almost all of them with images online :D.

Tyree Purple Monster

Ultimate stag in the front, red tip stag in the back

Rainbow Milli

Blue Hoki

Sunset Milli

Aussie Blue tip Yellow Stag

Rommells Watermelon Acro

Aussie Blue Blaze Tenius

Lime in the sky

Tyree Oregon Tort

Sunny’s Gorilla Tenius

Granulosa?

Tank looks awesome. BTW, are those butterflies you have there reef safe? Do you ever find them nipping at any corals?

I only have SPS so cannot talk about LPS or clams. They are model citizens in my tank and I have had them for over 2 years now. Occasional picking on colonies to grab the stuck food in branches :)

Amazing tank! I am getting ready to start a build where the filtration is in the basement like yours. What return pump are you using?

 

[fragit]

Also wondering about the return pump your using.

 

[Monroereef]

I use the hammerhead gold.
