SPS at Incredible Aquarium

What lighting are you running over that Grow out system? Looks very nice and my guess would be Halide / Radium Bulbs ?

Hi Matt

I am using ATI T5 bulbs over this system. The fixture is an 8 x 80w Sunpower the bulbs are all ATI T5s.

I do have another system we are using 400w Radiums on and it looks great too but I really like the T5s also. We have been using the T5s on this system since it was converted to SPS back in 2011.

We took this photo of one of our Aussie Strawberry Shortcakes as it arrived from the land down under. After a few good dips and acclimation period here is what they look like when they first arrive.



Nerves of steel from here on because we never know if a wild colony is going to thrive or dive, bleaching out etc etc. I trust them under T5 and here is that same colony now…

Wow thats a crazy transformation, sps never ceases to amaze me there is always that frag that gets knocked to the back lands in the sand and is found 2 weeks later and your like its a goner..but ill glue it here and see what happens and boom back from the dead

Wow... I remember when that SSC wild colony came in.
I honestly thought it was a goner, nice work!
