What are you seeing from Indo?....Oh Ya! Nice looking place you got there

We've gotten a few really nice plates and some euphyllia, but we are mostly a farm facility so we don't import to much.

I think its time for an update!!!!

 

[TopShelfAquatics]

Time for a LOOOOONG overdue farm update. Things here at the farm have been non stop! Between upgrades to our existing systems and working on our new coral isle which will add over 2,500 gallons of water volume to our facility we have certainly had our hands full. It is a bit of a disaster zone right now, but in the end it will be an awesome addition! Here are a few shots from all the work going on. Plenty more to come!

How about another long overdue farm update! As you guys can see the tanks are up and running. We are definitely going through the "ugly" stage of the cycle. Our control panels are pretty much done for this new coral isle and all of the canopies are hung. One canopy still has some modifications left and we have to install the MONSTER light fixture going over than tank of the isle. Still a little work left to go, but we are super excited to start filling this new isle with tons of amazing corals!

In other news we have began the planning for two additional coral isles! The work never ends around here, but we are excited for what the future brings! Make sure to let us know what you guys think and if you have any questions leave them below.

Our newest system is up and running! Our farm guys are big fans of The Life Aquatic movie so they chose the name Belafonte. Here is a video highlighting this monster system!

It's that time again guys and gals. We have another small farm update for everyone! Things have been hectic as always around here. Between the day to day activities and trying to get some new systems up and running there is never a dull moment. It seems like every time we get a new system going it is time to set up another one because we need more space! The guys have been hard at work on the left wing of the farm setting up two new massive coral/ invert systems. Here are a few pics of the progress. Hope everyone enjoys them!

Very Nice Guys! I see the heavy use of the new xr30's, one question, do you find you use the same amount of intensity when setting them or do they run with less intensity and still get the same result as the g4 pros? Which ones do you guys prefer the G4s or G5s?

We are slowly transitioning to the G5s with all of our new systems. We run the Blues and we have been getting great results. We do have to run the intensity a bit higher, but the spread is much better on the G5s. Both versions are great and we have had zero issues with either.

On the new systems are you doing just LEDs or are you still doing Hybrid? If you are still doing some T5 Hybrid what is your light schedule timewise for the LEDs and the T5s?

We are slowly transitioning to the G5s with all of our new systems. We run the Blues and we have been getting great results. We do have to run the intensity a bit higher, but the spread is much better on the G5s. Both versions are great and we have had zero issues with either.

Are you selling the G4's? I am willing to buy 4 to 6, depending on the price.

 

[twiatr2001]

I've got 5 new ones in the basement, LOL

I believe we do have 4 or 5 available. Shoot us a PM if you're interested
