Hi Bro. Eh i think the pink coral i sold to you is gonipora ah. The smaller clown was hosting on the pink gonio but the bigger clown hosted on the green alveopora. And sometimes the smaller clown join in and host with the green one.

Anyway it took the clowns abt 5-6mths before they hosted on anything! hehe.....

Good idea, include under "MISC" charges?? Hmm i think if i ever get a flat, first thing is to measure and see which is the best spot to accomodate the tank...hahha

where is the update?lights mount already?skimmer on already?

[reaper78]

Some update on the LEDs.......(Not enff sleep...behaving like a zombie... )

Here is the breakdown of the Lumen aqua Ultra Bite :

1) 80 x White LEDs

2) 40 x Blue LEDs (Centre Row)

Power consumption: 50% of a 400W metal halide (As claim by the manufacturer)

Total of 120 LEDs, divided into 4 groups, each group comprises of 30 white/blue LEDs. 4 fans to aid in the cooling. Rows of LEDs can be adjusted in terms of intensity(brightness), which is a 'plus' feature that appeal to me. An analogy would be like you are trying to adjust the contrast of a television set.

Switch on the Ultra Bite LEDs from 1030pm to 0100am last nite, no significant increase in temperature (using Dymax digital thermometer at the moment, increase (+/-) 0.1 - 0.2 degree celsius.

In my opinion, as a user i rather satisfied with the finishing and the cast of lights projected from the LEDs. Now the remaining questions apart from 'stable' water parameters/flow are, if corals like, SPS can adapt and grow well, spectrum or par/lux value is what the manufacturer claims. Another important aspect is the longevity of the product which over time, will prove.

Above comments is solely from me as a user and meant as a 'sharing' session and in no way am i trying to sell or market this product. Should i express any invalid comments, kindly correct me as i not a LED guru, so pls enlighten, if any.

The rest i shall leave it to you guys to comment, pls note i using my sis's cannon camera (Digital IXUS 70) and i think the model is quite old so the picture quality might be inferior.

Heres' a pic of the LED (Switch on for the very first time)

[reaper78]

LED's almost full blast, will play with the controller again once i have enff sleep. haha...

The Tank size is 4 x 2 x 2.5......
