yes should be zoas eating nudibranch remove them ASAP and freshwater dip your zoas (all of them) for around 6 - 8 mins. (dip 6 mins, constantly shake the zoas for another min). Inspect all zoas for nudi eggs.

so either the orignal leds will have to be swapped out? If they honor what they told you. Then i guess it will be a good buy. Care to pm me the price too? Thanks

Pharos LED - 4 x Cree XPE Blue: 3W/piece - 12 x Cree XPE Royal Blue: 3W/piece - 2 x Cree XPG warm white: 5W/piece - 6 x Cree XPG neutral white: 5W/piece Though with the use of warm white and neutral white is a good choice, no Violets at all would be a major down side. violets (true or hyper violet) are very important to corals. and they bring the POP color out in luminous corals. And i agree with solo77, buying from overseas is cheaper but have to consider about warranty issue. If you happen to buy and use after 1-2 months and module died or controller spoilt, there is nothing you can do buy to buy another set.

60 degree is very narrow and should use 3 sets. 80 degree is wider so 2 sets might suffice. But might have shadowing especially if u have a middle bracing.

if u meant for a tank that is 2ft tall, you'll have to hang it high to cover the whole area. or you can choose to hang it lower, then both sides will be pretty dark or have shadowing. Can go down to west coast aquarium to check out their display tank.

go for 2x120W 160w 16k. you'll be more and more poisoned by SPS and a single 160w 16k will restrict alot places in ur 422 tank.

Thanks! Thanks bro, your new addition more tok kong then mine! Thanks! Thanks bro! the base is encrusting nicely. hopefully will grow soon. Thanks! Thats what i aiming. but got to patiently wait. Thanks! still got more space for more zoas!!

i use 160w 16k razor for my 4x2x1.2ft tank. and the spread is very good. i have to keep my light set 17-20" above the water level though. But then, im only having max A:70%, B:85% now in order not to bleach my SPS. Here's my tank http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03430_zps693e5967.jpg.html'> can see the spread. http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/20130614_173723_zpsa796b5f5.jpg.html'> West coast aquarium show tank also uses single 160w 16 for his 422, he hangs pretty high up as well and keeping SPS at the top with LPS/Zoas at the bottom sand bed. TS, maybe you can tell us what you want to keep.would be better to narrow down the selection.

Just to clarify again, this is all based on my personal LED research : AI Vega Blue - 4 - Cree XM-L Cool White 8 - Cree XP-E Royal Blue 4 - Cree XP-E Blue 4 - OSRAM OSLON Deep Blue Only cool white and blue. No neutral/warm white and no violets. Vega color - 4 - Cree XM-L Cool White 8 - Cree XP-E Royal Blue 2 - Cree XP-E Blue 2 - OSRAM OSLON Deep Blue 2 - Cree XP-E Green 2 - OSRAM OSLON Deep Red At least there's Green and deep red to fill the spectrum but once again, Neutral White or warm white should be used to supplement with cool white. and no Violets are used. AI Hydra 4 Cree XT-E Cool White (> 70 CRI) 2 OSRAM OSLON Deep Red 2 Cree XP-E Green 4 Cree XT-E Royal Blue 4 OSRAM OSLON Very Deep Blue 2 SemiLED 415nm Violet 2 Edison Opto 400nm UV Finally the new AI Hydra has the best spectrum, with 2 kinds of violets. But still only cool white are used. If anyone were to consider AI, Hydra would be the best IMO. Ecotech Radion - • White: 8 Cree XT-E Cool White (5W each) • Red: 4 Osram Oslon SSL Hyper Red (3W each) • Green: 4 Cree XP-E Green (3W each) • Blue: 8 Cree XP-E Blue (3W each) • Royal Blue: 8 Cree XT-E Royal Blue (5W each) No Violets and only cool white. Radion pro is better with the spread of better spectrum. GHL Mitras LX 6100HV 12 x Cree XP-E blue 12 x Cree XT-E cool white 12 x Cree XT-E royal blue 6 x Cree XT-E neutral white 6 x Osram Oslon SSL true green 6 x Osram Oslon SSL yellow 6 x Osram Oslon SSL red 6 x Osram Oslon SSL hyperred 6 x hyper violet 425 nm With the mix of cool white and neutral white as well as other colors, i would say this is the best fixture. and also 8 separate dimmers. Maxspect Razor 160w 16k A Cree XLamp® XT-E 6 382 lm @ 1300mA Cool White 8000K A Cree XLamp® XT-E 6 1520mW @ 1300mA Royal Blue 450-465nm A Cree XLamp® XT-E 6 294 lm @ 1300mA Warm White 3000K B Cree XLamp® XP-E 9 63 lm @ 860mA Blue 465-485nm B Cree XLamp® XT-E 6 1520mW @ 1300mA Royal Blue 450-465nm B Epileds Dual-Core 6 1100mW @ 1300mA Super Actinic 410-420nm Though it lacks the red and green LED which the above fixtures all have, but it have much better whites. With cool white and warm white, it also covers the range of the green and red spectrum. Once again, based on my own research, if i have the money, i will definitely buy the GHL Mitras, If not, the Razor 16k is the one to go. Im not saying that Radion or AI are not good. The radion pros are good but they are not worth the money. AI Hydra looks promising but once again the price tag. If my above info is wrong, please feel free to correct me. i may have used the info from the wrong source.

Bump!

Been some time since i updated. For the past week i have been thinking hard how to do a slight rescape on the left side so i'll be able to hold more SPS. so after removing some rocks and shifting around. i settled for one scape which i liked very much. Alot more space for sps too. I bought some close up filters for my lens and was trying out some shots: Xman zoas. http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03438_zpscd32ae84.jpg.html'> Sunflower zoas http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03439_zps6dcbdd4c.jpg.html'> Watermelon zoas http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03443_zps8bdd53a2.jpg.html'> Green emerald zoas http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03446_zpsd2b536a1.jpg.html'> Eagle Eye zoas http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03452_zps43067c5a.jpg.html'> Golden cloves http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03447_zps506515b5.jpg.html'> Encrusting gorgonia http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03450_zps684bb895.jpg.html'> Acans http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03442_zpse010e530.jpg.html'> All zoas above are placed at my zoas garden. http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/DSC03473_zps7c8f4669.jpg.html'> Now some SPS shots..

Got money to spend, go for the best = 2/3 x GHL Mitras Want good fixture but tighter on budget = 2x 120W Razor 16k Want good fixture but tight on budget + only keeping Zoas/LPS and just a little SPS = 1x 160w Razor 16k Want good fixture but very tight on budget = Evergrow Fixture (slightly cheaper than razor after accounting Shipping fees IIRC) Just to clarify, the above is all based on my opinion. The above fixtures are the only ones i would consider if im buidlng a 422.

2x120 razor will be perfect for your tank.

bumps!

Bump!

Sounds like ur tank just went under another cycle. Your heavily rock scape might be trapping too much debris. With the kh and ph fluctuating so much, your corals might suffer. And I'm ur sand bed too thick. I'll only go for 1inch thick. Such thick sand bed will cost problem in the long run..

Does irwarna or madpetz sells zeovit coral vitalizer?

Nope sorry not for the moment. Will let u know if they are

bumpz!

3x GHL mitras would be perfect! Or 3x 120w razor.

I get mine from irwarna cheap and good.

What's the flow of the 2 wave maker? What corals are u focusing in? Sps requires more flow. Softies or lps do not need high flow.

Thanks fatbike. Black/yellow sun reserved!

Super sun, GSP, and 1x eagle eye+ radioactive green RESERVED.

i believe you meant xenia?
