Care for the venustus and multibar is pretty much identical, I believe that its most important to get a juvenile so they can be weaned onto pellets. Now I'm back to the heartache of finding and feeding them..... gonna be a while... What's the progress of the new tank? |

It's great to hear from ya bro. I haven't tested the PAR on this lighting. But Caroliniana is a deep water coral and prefers not so bright direct light. I have kept mine higher up on my tank but towards the back side of the tank. Its not under direct light. It sure does like the flow from my Vortech. I had initially light acclimatized it, started low on the tank and gradually raised it to the current position. It's a beautiful coral, I'm looking out for colour variants.

Thanks for viewing my thread and posting this very informative link Though my LED system doesn't belong to one of the brands tested, mine are using the CREE LEDs. But if you ask me the key factor in any LED system is the driver, which is the heart of the system. Good quality drivers are a must to get the best out of LEDs. Overall these LEDs I am using does sustain a small reef system but in a bigger system I don't think it will work. Iv noticed the growth rates are not as rapid as under MH or even other brand LEDs, but it is a blessing in disguise as we can enjoy our smaller tanks longer coz SPS doesnt grow and fill out the space within an year and yea no trimming issues

Not showing off LOL. Just presenting the work of my busy mind and welcoming suggestions from all. Planning for a reef tank is almost like planning for a building

I am planning to make an all wood stand for the new tank....
Levelling the tank is my worry right now....anyone have any pointers/experience on the use of levelling screws or fittings on the base of the stand? What kind or gauge to get? any advice would be greatly appreciated My flooring has wooden panelling over tiles....

I would skip the legs and just use shims if possible. Remember to shim the stand, not the tank.

I was thinking waterproofing the base of the stand and keep it slightly off floor. Not sure if it's possible.
