Dez' Tank Journal

[Dez]

Well, I've been busy and don't have much to report except for a lighting upgrade tonight. I added 2 x 48" 54 watt T5's in between my 60" T5's. I had an old workhorse 7 kicking around and everything else so all it cost me were the bulbs. I went with the KZ coral light II bulb (about 14k I think). I really like it. Now I have the actinics come on first, then the fiji purples next, then the 14k's, and then the halides and then everything comes off in reverse order. Not that my tank wasn't bright enough before, but it does make it noticeably brighter. I like having more stages of lighting because I can enjoy my tank in different colours it seems.

Corals are growing like weeds so I've been doing lots of pruning. Colours are great, and the fish are happy.
