For people with shallow tank, has it ever bother you that the water agitation caused by high flow is making you viewing from the top very difficult?

well for me i stop my wp40 and i get almost still water surface but i cant see my millie's PE waving around. so i bought this!

bought this from fishstreet, also came with a magnifying glass that fits into the acrylic nicely. great product!

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.

Bro Evo, may i check with u on the razor light as I recently purchase too.

Regarding about the fan, is it suppose to run when it's hot or? I have not seen it running yet. lol

Yeap it is suppose to run only when the fixture is getting warm. i have to put my ear really close to hear if the fan is running.. really quiet! my fan only turns on when my fixture reaches its peak out put at A:70%, B:90%.

Nice tank setup, hope to see more nice pix.

Thanks! will post more if i got new addition :D

Hey bro macrovan, i posted some photos on another thread regarding Before and after use of 3 months of LED (2 months on g2 170w, 1month on Razor 160w 16k)

Here some SPS before and after pic

http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/SPSCoral1_zps186a6434.png.html'>SPSCoral1_zps186a6434.png

http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/SPScoral2_zpsf92fb8d2.png.html'>SPScoral2_zpsf92fb8d2.png

Recent color changes i noticed is :

1) Sunset millie with green and yellow base but brown PE now showing green PE base color no change.

2) German Blue Digi, bought totally brown, Been with me for around 2 months or so. polyps just started to turn blue last week.

3) Optic Fibre birdnest, bought without the blue/green tips but now displaying nice blue/green tips.

I also lost some SPS color as well :

1) Blue acro (1st pic) turn from bright deep turquoise to now a pale turq color with brown polyps.

2) dull green Stag turned totally brown for about 1mth+, now starting to see a little color coming back after recently ramping up light intensity.
