29gallon mixed reef

[brandon7491]

hello everyone this is my 29gallon mixed reef and its been thriving for a year! please tell me your honest oponoins i really want to know what i can improve on. I am getting the surface skimming part for the aqua c remora and will be switching to a 14k phoneix instead of a 10k ab bulb.

It looks really good! But I think you need some kind of actinic lighting to bring the colors out a little better. But I don't know how exactly you would do that since the light you have is hanging.

[crabbejoe]

Maybe the 14k pheonix bulb will fix that.

[brandon7491]

i think it will, i mean dont get me wrong the 10k ab bulb is great and the growth is spectacular but the colors obviously with a 10k bulb are kinda browned out.

I think it is very nice. Wouldn't hurt to get the actinics, but it still looks nice.

[crabbejoe]

The color looks better in the second set of pics! Maybe it was just a bad pic.
If it's possible, I'd bring the clam out in the open to show it off!

[brandon7491]

haha thanks guys. I cant put attiinics on because its a hanging fixture and it would be nearly impossible besides if i did a mod which im not gonna do. i will just use the 14k phoneix bulb.

[brandon7491]

well i just ordered the 14k phoneix bulb so im pretty excited for a change in the tank. n e ways heres some pics and a close up on the leather

What is the coral in the middle, focused in the 2nd "top down" picture? I have a couple of those and am curious.

[brandon7491]

[NewWorldWater]

Yep, that's the one I was refering to. So it is green singularia...always good to know whats in the tank. Thanks.

Looking nice and healthy. Is your flame nipping on anything in the tank? I alsways wanted a flame, coral beauty or bicolor angel in my tank but was always afraid of them nipping on corals

[compulsivebasta]
