Saw this on RC earlier. Very excited to see those two boulders explode with growth. Color looks fantastic =)

OLD LIGHTING:
I used an Apogee MQ-100 Quantum Meters to measure my tank's lighting intensity. I was really disappointed at the sps tank readings.The sps tank is using an 250w xm 20k bulb on a lumenmax elite. Let me clarify that I am not disappointed in the bulb's performance, but rather in my lighting setup. I now know for certain what I only suspected before, one reflector is just not going to do it. You can see that the reading in the center are great, but as soon as you move out, they drop like crazy.

The solution is either 2 reflectors, or using a T5 fixture.

250W DE XM 20K Lumenmax Elite on a Bluewave 7 about 9 inches above the water



475 - is right under the water



OK, ATI sunmodule is finally up!!!

3 ATI blue plus
3 ATI Aquablue Special

Holy mother of PAR. I don't have time to do the same thing as last time right now, but the numbers are better. I'll get to them asap. Stay tuned.
