Nice design; I am thinking about the same design for my nano tank. Visiting CR soon! I always have the feeling that black silicon is stronger than white (is all in my head); not sure true or not.

Try using a ezlink card or something similar, can be easily removed with that. Maybe just do it when u perform your water change.

thanks for the input, but i find credit cards are abrasive to tank surface, filter wools often traps little grain of sand/stone during cleaning scratching the tank in long run. LFS aunite told me to use sponge instead of filter wool..

Whether u use sponge or wool, should be no problem since yours is BB. I juz find sponge absorbed more water thus harder to clean glass surface when underwater.

hey bro, i think its difficult to cover up the high wattage with lower wattage led bulbs, for my T5 scenerio, the area directly below the led you can tell there is a tint of blue on the coral, but if you really want to cover up, you should look at many led bulb cluster together to provide a broader spectrum, aquawasher is only 3W per bulb, i doubt you can tell any effect on yours.

If you really want the blue, you got to remove some white unfortunately..

Thks for the advice.I thinking of disable 2 x 30watt led.2x30watt,5x3watt white and 13x3watt royal blue shd be enough for lps and sps for my 2ft tank.

LED after all do not really have ideal reflectors, like T5, the spread of light is more like beams. Whats the algae growth like for your led tank glass?

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
