Oh my gosh I love my new lighting... I changed 3) 250 watts MH to 20K and I also got new 96 watts actinics the brand is new / CURRENT SUNPAQ /... amazing color.

So my lighting is: 3) 250watt MH @ 10K
3) 250 watts MH @ 20k
2) 140 watt VHO actinics
2) 96 watt PC ( current sunpaq

) Actinics.

The corals and even the fish just glow... It doesnt seem all that blue either. Beautiful crisp color...looks like a totally different tank..
all new pictures coming soon......

Can't wait for the pics. Must be beautiful. It was great before.
Peace

That sounds like a sweet blend of kelvins.. what is the overall color? White with a tint of blue?

blue_eyes53813 · 05-21-2006, 08:57 PM

Yea white with a tint of blue... very nice glowing color

Woodstock · 05-21-2006, 09:18 PM

Thanks all, It is a way bummer... I dont know what happened to it... It looked fine but swam funny at times, ate like a hog... it was a VERY expensive fish.. And I always hate to lose them.... I prob. wont buy another..

One thing I have learned in this hobby is I think we can reduce the stress on the fish, if we can just add them to our home tank right away and not have all the acclimating at the pet store and then another change in bringing them home and adding them to another system. If I do get another I will pick it up right away . The sensitive fish cant handle all the change.

Went to Nigels yesterday ( long ride by the way) in Chicago. Got 50 lbs of live rock, 4 ricordia rocks, 3 frogspawn, 1 torch, 1 red blastos, 1 green blastos, gees I know Im forgetting to mention something but Everything is in the tank and doing great,,, Everything was open before the lights came on this morning....

My tank def. looks fuller ..Pictures to come in the next few days.. The tank looks different and rearranged

Nigel- if you read this - it was nice to meet ya...

semigodd154 · 06-25-2006, 10:24 PM

I love your tank would love to have an in wall setup but 120yr old houses in ny dont work so well for this especially when yo rent so i'll live vicariously through your tank.

blue_eyes53813 · 06-25-2006, 10:30 PM

Thank You Semigodd, Maybe someday it will all work out for you..

blue_eyes53813 · 06-26-2006, 09:55 PM

Ok a few new pictures... All my whole tank pictures didnt turn out because of the glare from the french doors,,, I will try again...

cheeks69 · 06-26-2006, 09:59 PM

blue_eyes53813 · 06-26-2006, 10:03 PM
