Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

[Seriak]

Okay last reply regarding the lights.

I turned them and yes there was a bit less light spilling out the front and back. But in my 4' X 2' tank there was no discernable light change in the tank. I don't have a PAR meter to measure though. But visually it looked the same. I guess it depends on the size of your tank.

And yes Coralgurl, you tank is looking amazing. I promise not to hijack it again. You were the inspiration for mine.

No worries on the lighting comments, I hung them this way as it's the way I saw them on Daves tank at concept. They are all spaced evenly across the top, I wanted good front to back coverage, and I don't notice lights spilling over. I'm already noticing coral growth, zoas that were melting in the other tank are sprouting babies etc. Plus I've got a healthy batch of cyano.... dispute the red slime, really enjoying this tank!

Thanks for the comments!!

Yep, I've gone thru the photography section, looked at websites for aquarium photography etc, it's getting better. I didn't turn off the flow, so that doesn't help. More practice but actually thinking of taking a course.

What's going on with the old 55?

I just added an eel!! He's so freakin cool! He's dug out under one big rock a lovely cave and tonight he's digging under another, quite the sandstorm happening! Can't get a pic yet, he's being shy!
