For those who doubted the superness of this Spec.

Nice spec. How much does one of those bulbs run?

Looking good!

Thanks!

When I purchased them they were $65 USD, and I bought 4 of them but have 3 left as I traded one for a 70W Current Sunpod Fixture.

A bit more accurate of color, I adjusted the LEDs so I could take better shots of the true colors of the corals.

 

[JoeCanada]

Really nice spec. Can you provide a link to where you bought your lights from. I may want to try something like this.

 

[mgdmirage]

I don't believe they sell them anymore unfortunately

 

[JoeCanada]

Oh well. Looking forward to seeing those frags grow in. It will be a sweet little tank.

 

[mgdmirage]

Thanks, I hope so. I'm thinking about moving the bottom frag out and replacing it with maybe a birdsnest. I think it will hit the glass soon so i need a more dense growing coral.

Haha just cleaned my 40 and low and behold my tiny little red Eviota Goby shows up in the sump with the clowns. I haven't seen him in probably 4 months and thought he was dead. The clowns were chasing him around like crazy so I caught him and threw him in the Spec

Pics of the two little guys/gals in here. You pretty much have to use the Macro lens to get a decent shot of them.

Holy crap I found the tiniest pump, it makes the stock spec pump look big lol. 43gph, 3.0w, and $8.99.

 

[mgdmirage]

Added what I believe to be a hellboy favia.

 

[mgdmirage]

Actinic shots for fun.

very interesting build liking it. question the other tube that comes out that doesnt have a hose attached to it is that for a water change or a future idea. i would also recommend shielding the vase or thing that the pump is at so anything that falls doesnt pass through to the tank.

Did you reply to wrong thread? Two hoses go out of tank both are connected. There is a link to the video up at top you can watch the overflow work and exit the tank.

 

[mgdmirage]

And a bit of goby on the glass.

 

[JoeCanada]

Love the last shot.
