I don't know if we can help you more, you are starting off right. Great gear!!!

Maybe look into:
- Vortech MP40W
- More LR
- Deltec Fluidizer with NP BioPellets

Show us some pic's once you get things functional.

Have fun!!!

Forget the Ca reactor and kalk stirrer, go for a Profilux doser; go ATI or Sfiligoi for your T5HO lighting, and you'll be pimpin in no time.

Oh yeah, and go top down, that's right, go trimless. Oh yeah.

how long is your photo period.

saltynuts 02-21-2010 11:13 PM

just bought my tek 6x39 watt.
what bulbs would you go with.
this is going to be an sps tank and i want colors to pop.
thanks for the time.

Crytone 02-22-2010 12:30 AM

Personally, I'd probably go for the following for 6 bulbs..
2x ATI Aquablue Specials
2x ATI Blue+
1x KZ Fiji Purple

For the last bulb it's really preference but you could do another Blue+ or even do a 6500k bulb.

saltynuts 02-25-2010 12:22 AM

well got the tank today and i am very happy.
tec light showed up today. wife is not happy (lmao).
i,ll post pic as soon as i can.
for buld this is what i am going with.
2x giesemann aquablue+
1x geisemann actinic
1x kz coral light
1x kz coral light ll
1x kz figi purple.

i am still trying to find a calcium reactor. i have a kalk reactor. just waiting for new tunze top off as sensor was a dud on the one i bought.
this build is going to be sweet so stuy tuned.

saltynuts 04-05-2010 04:44 PM

tank is done! what a job.

well i could not get the zeovit reactor in my stand.( not enough room)
so i switched to n/p reducing biopellets in a phosban reactor.
i have to go get a 2nd phosban reactor for carbon today.
i am going to dose with some zeovit goodies.
1-coral vitalizer
2-pohl,s xtra
3-amino acid concentrate lps
4-sponge power.
i,ll start doseing in 2 weeks, as it takes 4-6 weeks to see results from the n/p.
i am happy with the way things turned out, just need some sweet frags off dez!
i,ll post some more pics tonight with carbon reactor running.

saltynuts 04-27-2010 02:25 AM

it,s been awhile so on with some up dates.
went down to dez,s house and scored some sweet frags.

Wow there not kidding some of the best growth i have seen in one of your tanks. keep your eyes peeled i have been getting the itch for a bit now remember nothing smaller then 135 gal :)

lastlight 09-03-2010 06:11 AM

That's coming along so nicely. That channel running into the rock is cool. How many corals are mounted to the face of that central rock? Almost looks like one...sorta growing downwards as well.

Vikingstad 09-03-2010 07:31 AM

Thats so gorgeous!
Whats that big yellow coral called?
