Running the LED on 8 hour a day together with 2 tube of T5 HO 80W ( ATI Blue plus & Aqua Blue) and 1 hour with the moon light . It has been close to 6 month now, and most of the frag which i started with is growing well with good coloration although the growth is rather slow .

My light placement is about 30 cm above water , but some oversea reefer i saw place this light higher for a better spread. I feel that the light is best supplement with T5 to bring out the coloration of the SPS, since by LED alone may not be 100% sufficient especially for light demanding corals.

There is mainly about 30 types of SPS species in my tank now which consist of Acropora, Humilis Acropora , Monti, Monitopora ,Stylopora, radioactive, and birdnest ect... So far , all is doing well .

Overall, i like the lighting effect which is close to a 250W MH, and the royal blue LED effect. rolleyes.gif

AWESOME!

Your pink BN still looking great! Walt Smith yeah?

Envious - your queen doesn't bother your sps...

Mine nips here and there... may have to let it go if this persists..

Yes the BN is from Irwanna last Walt Smith shipment, and so far so good the pink is holding.. I do have some LPS coral inside my tank as well like frogspawn and hammer corals which all my angel fishes didn't brother. With a little stroke of luck and fishes all well feed they wouldn't like to nips on corals as food anymore lol.. pinch.gif

i didnt try that before, but i feel that the external controller for the chiller work better since it is design for it . The controller for the temperature would be good for setting the cut out of your lighting especially MH in the event of your chiller breaking down or to switch on your fan when temp rise too high ect...

Hope it helps :)

Recently just try out this P04 remover from P04 X4 which claim to be much more effective in removing phosphate than other media ?

The media is rather smaller as compare to other P04 remover in the market, so i have to install a filter sock just in case it slip pass the mesh ..
