Do It, super active colorful tank! You will need a monster clean up crew though! I would recommend Lyretails, Bartlett, Randalls, Resplendent, and Carberryi. Constant Movement!

I used a long piece of 1x4 to reach the beams of the ceiling then mounted the fixture to the wood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what Reef in the Sky uses..... Extra $1000 per fixture. Though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are yours 400w or 250w? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kinda sounds like the ATI may be the way to go.A). They grow bad a$$ sps tanks. B). Lower power consumption by a little. C). Use your existing canopy. D). Infinite bulb blending to get the color look you want. No shimmer with T-5 though.... Idk if I want to give that up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been told that 3 Halides wouldn't spread well over my 7' tank. Never tried it though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I purchased some halides on my old 90g tank, I had a few bulbs and what not to try. I ran 2 400w Radiums and loved how the SPS Looked and grew! I needs new bulbs and switched to 250w 14K Plusrites with VHO supplementation. Didn't really care for the look. I switched back to the 400 W Radiums until I switched to LEDs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I priced 400w 20K Radiums Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 7' tank. It creates issues when it comes to fixture lengths. 3 Halides mounted properly don't spread well across 7' I currently have 6' led fixtures, so I say 2 3' T-5 because there will be a few inch gap in between the fixtures at the center of the tank, I believe I'll have spill over if I get 1 3' and 1 4' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With Halides, I'll have to build a canopy again, with T-5s utilize my current hanging setup along with what comes with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After some investigation. 2 3' ATI Dimmable T-5 Modules with bulbs will run me: $1600 or so depending on sales and where I get it from. 4 400w Halide setups with Dimmable ballasts and bulbs will run me: $1570 or so depending on sales and where I get them from. So the deciding factor will be preference and electric bill.... [emoji33] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. I had Evos with VHOs originally. Then added BML. Then replaced VHO with BML super actinic, the replaced evos with full BML. Then BML 12K and 20K. I tried a purple wave BML somewhere in there too. Currently have 12 XB and 20K XB, and a Super Actinic all BML. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I still have the BML fixtures. I get lots of growth. I just don't get the color I want. I've mixed and matched different color combos and spent way too much to still not get the color I'm looking for. My LPS and softies look great, several of my SPS don't look like they should/could.

Looking at making a switch later this year....... Halides or T-5? What say you?
-
I think i've been so distracted with the Corals that I have been only looking at the SUMP and Corals, not the Powerheads.

More findings everyday. 1 MP40 had a Snail in it and wasn't running (IDK how long) 1 WP25 had a Snail in it and wasn't running (IDK how long) 1 Tunze had tons of calcium growth in it and wasn't running (IDK how long) Keep up with your maintenance people!

My Biocube was always Warm, and it had upgraded fans. So IDK on that one.

I'm in also

Epiphany moment.... I tested my Phosphates 2 days ago, and they had dropped by .02. Tested them today and the went up .05.....?! Hmmmmm It was about 30 mins after my auto feeder fed the fish..... That led me to check my auto feeder settings. Somehow my feeder has been running 4 times a day for the last few months despite me setting for it to run twice. Could that have been the cause of my high phosphates? I'm thinking so..

I need some Phosphate reagent for my Hanna Checker. Is anyone placing an order soon I could get in on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not getting the color they should have by no means, but they're Polyps are flowing... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some iPhone pics for you..... You can see the Monti and Pink Picillapore took a big hit. Red Planet, Purple Meridiana, Blue Mille, Green Efflo, blue Plana, Purple Stylo, Tricolor Valida, a Blue tipped Mariculture, etc could care less about what's going on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think with a big enough tank and lots of Rock to call home, they'll be fine. Qt'ing them together will help alot!
