Oh great, so now, to top it all of, you guys get employee discounts at the LFS?

Lol, I did ask the LFS about buying a Dolphin, and for some strange reason, they weren't very co-operative

.....However, they were quite keen on selling me a seal, doesn't get better than that

I bet the greenies would love that idea mate

Your tank is just simply amazing.

I am setting up a 60''x27''x27'' tank. Would you recommend the 6 or 8 bulb 60'' fixture?

KritikaL · 07/30/2014, 08:01 AM

how far off the water level are your light units and are they dimmable?

Hopefully Bello

Now that would be a sight to see and I'd like to see the look on their faces when you asked

Thank you very much

I'd recommend an 8 bulb fixture on that size

The height of my lights varies, during winter I run them 10-15cm off the water level as it helps with adding a little heat and during summer around 30cm help keep the heat out. Either way I've seen no I'll affects

I think that is the best bet as well, a 6 might struggle for higher light stuff in that tank.

That is a interesting thing Scott, but I bet it works, do you see better growth in winter?

The top piece is Acropora Nasuta but I've always been uncertain of the bottom. I've searched and searched and never come across a positive I.D

Yes mate I have always used T5 and always will

Fishy 1 · 08/09/2014, 06:16 AM

Thanks Fishy and trust me mate Ive told him many times

My favourite thing about the T5's besides the colour they bring to your corals which would be an obvious choice is the fact that you can throw in different bulbs combinations to suit your personal preference

Yes thats wht I'm going with them for my build (besides they are way cheaper than halide and LEDs most of the time). Have you thought about going with LEDs or halides at some point?

Have you thought about the ATI Hybrid?. Some royal blue/ violet pop?.

I think I saw that second coral twice in two days. Never seen it before!. Is this the same coral in Frankyrivera's tank?

That Nasuta is a beauty too. Have you got the blue polyp Nasuta as well…. another great piece!.

No mate I will definitely be sticking with T5's for as long as I'll be Reefing! I'm Not a of LEDs so if I ever had to change lights for some unforeseen reason buddy il chose halides
