Daelie's 3 Feet of Reef Tank

[intarsiabox]

Sorry to hear about your fish, we do our best to keep things alive and well but sometimes these things just happen.

I have a question regarding your lighting. I am running a 6 bulb T5 over a 40g breeder tank and have been thinking about adding Kessils to it. I have seen the Kessils by themselves and they look great but don't want to get rid of the T5's. Do you still get the shimmer and color pop when running both together or do you find the T5's wash the shimmer out? I have run tanks with just LED's and don't want to go down that route anymore. Thanks!

Looking awesome! Color and polyp extension are excellent! I'm not a fan of how little rock there is (looks like a frag tank to me), but if you like it that's all that matters!

Thanks. To be honest, it kind of is a frag tank right now. I have way more zoas than I know what to do with and I've been getting rid of both those and LPS in favor of replacing everything with SPS. In time, as I get more SPS, it should fill in nicely. They just need to grow a lot faster.

Ah thanks a lot. It's surely addicting. I live in the North end right now, along the river. If you decide to get back into the hobby, I'll always be able to hook you up with some frags and there's a good bunch of other people in Fredericton that reef as well.
