jackywongto Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 wow... your sun coral so tok kong! how did you manage to get them to open up so much? I bought it from a reefer. understand that if you feed it frequently by flooding the tank method, it will slowly stay open longer.

SRC Member teebs Posted December 2, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm still trying... Flood your tank with Henry's Reef Gourmet... Confirmed three things will happen: 1) Your Super Suns will open until super big big after 2-3 weeks, after a long period of flooding with henry's you may find two or three heads joining up to form a super big head with 2-3 mouths. See Henry's display tank and you will see what i mean... 2) Your nitrates will shoot up until sky high 3) If you have fishes, you will find that your fishes will become super fat Quote My Setup: 3x2x2 tank with IOS Equipment List: Chiller: Artica 1/5HP Chiller Pump: Sicce 4000 Return Pump: OR3500 Skimmer: Deltec APF600 Wavemaker: Tunze Wavebox/2x Hydor K2/SCWD wavemaker Lights: DElighting 2x150W MH + 2x 39W T5 Atinic FR: Skimz FR Pump: Atman AT-104 Tubby ATO, Kalkweisser Reactor with magnetic stirrer.

CDUB Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Jacky, I tried sending you a PM but i dont think it has gone through. There has been a bit of interest in the Maxspect units in Australia and i am looking at getting the 160w model for my 2 foot mixed system (though i dont think anyone here has one yet). I have posted threads discussing these led lights on Nano-reef, MASA and RC and was directed to the thread here where i found your tank (which is looking great by the way). I have read the Maxspect thread and looked through your journal but I just wanted to get your updated opinion on how the light is performing eg growth, limitations, recession, colour, noise etc. Any comments would be great. Cheers, Cale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member teebs Posted December 2, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2009 ha ha.... already feeding daily with Henry's Goo..... noticed the suns are opening round about the same time every evening.... Yours is sun or super sun??? For super sun, they will open 24hrs a day if you feed them enough food. For suns, you will need to feed them at intervals in order for them to open throughout the day. My super sun is open 24 hrs a day but my suns open mainly at night. In the day, when i squirt some liquid food at them, they will open otherwise they are often closed.

Cheers, Cale Hi Cale Welcome to SRC. I did receive your PM but was just pondering if I have sufficient info to comment on the light. My tank is barely 1.5 months old. As a new setup, a lot of the water parameters are not stable. Moreover this is a nano tank so there is even more variables involved. Let me pen my thoughts and perhaps you can weigh the facts. - The fans on my set is rather noisy. MaxSpect has sent me the new replacement fan which they claim is more silent but I have not installed it yet. Let me see if I can find time to do that in the next 2 weeks. all I can see is that my skimmer Tunze 9002 is noisier of the 2 now. Softies - The Xenias, Star Polyps are doing very well and seemed to be growing. Mushies are doing well except for the orangy red ones which have turned to maroon. LPS - I have none. SPS - Cannot say for sure. The purple one has bleached a little but the polyps are starting to extend. The green one seemed to be doing well. But do note that these seemed to be acropora and my tank should not be keeping these SPS, logically speaking. Montis seemed to be ok too but not much growth seen yet. if you check back in 2 months and if my baby clams are still surviving, then prob the lights are sufficient for them. Sorry I know this hardly help but the fact is I myself is not sure how good these light set is. I hope that once my tank is stocked up and the water is more stable, I can reinstate back my MH and see which one does better. If you are keeping softies and perhaps LPS, my guess is that this LED should be able to support those. For SPS, you would have to take a gamble. All the best Cale.

jackywongto Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Finally I managed to set my whitebalance correctly using the coco worm white tube lol. Here's the right colour of my clams. If you look from the top, the colouration is different. Here's a fuzzy pic as I did not off my Vortech. But you can see that the one on the right is much greener.

jackywongto Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Okie. Caught my coco worm pooing in action. The 2 coil just split away from the center. Then the tentacles releases the poo. notices that the center tentacles is clean now. then wait for the next wave .... see the poo building up in the mid? compare with the 1st pic. see the poo? Fire away again... This goes on like 5 -6 times!!!!!
