After referencing your build again - I have been stalking this thread for months now , I just realized that you switched from using two actinics to blue plus. With such wonderful colors using the actinics and running the reef for months with only four bulbs, what prompted the switch?

BTW - I love your setup...I am trying my best to mimic.

Hope to see another fts soon

4bruceinc - Thanks for the kind words! I've always played around with bulb combo every so often! however this time the main driving force for me going with 4 blue+ and 2 corals+ is the color lost in the pink lemonade once I feel that it's back to it's glory days I probably go back to usinging the actinic bulbs again as this bulbs just makes the fluorescent on the corals glows like nothing!!!!!

stay tune for a FTS!

Hey SR, I don't know if you answered this, but what materials/components did you use to make your base besides rock? Looks like you had some platforms in there but that seemed man-made.

Great tank!

I can use words like awesome, incredible, and magnificent to describe this tank, but really there are no words. To me, this tank is what anyone that keeps SPS strives for. What more can I say, GREAT JOB!

here is the updated bulb combo;

01 - RB(2)
02 - RB(2) + Coral Plus(2)
03 - RB(2) + Coral Plus(2)
04 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
05 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
06 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
07 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
08 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
09 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)

11 - Blue Plus(4) + Coral Plus(2)
12 - RB(2) + Coral Plus(2)
13 - RB(2) + Coral Plus(2)
14 - RB(2)

Each setpoint duration is 1 hour. As per spectrum and wavelengths here is what I was able to location from ATI; unfortunately I can't find any info regarding ReefBrite however what I can tell you is that they are a lot bluer that the ATI blue Plus.


ATI Blue Plus


ATI Coral Plus


ATI True Actinic
