Sweeeet tank you got there...

That picture is way cool... I tried Bangai Cardinals about 5 months ago and never was able to get them to feed... eventually I lost them.

You've inspired me to give them a try again... this time I'll make sure they are eating before I bring them home.

Those Cardinal babies are not mine, they are from Inland Aquatics in Terra Haute In. & they are in a 1200 gal. tank

after 2 months I finnally found someone who wanted to sell me a lighting system. I tried a local shop that is somewhat new to give him some bussiness. He said no problem but after a month & a half of lies he finnally tells me he cant get what I need!! Wish he was just honest up front. Then I called an online distibutor I have delt with before with good luck. he wouldnt respond to emails so I finnally call & he tries to talk me into something else & then never sends me a qoute he promised. Anyway I ordered everything from Hellolights.com & its all on the way, no back orders. (2) Reef Optics III 250w DE pendants, Sunlight supply Blue wave 7 ballast, phonixs 14k bulbs, URI VHO actinics. Now I will have some motivation to build a canopy!!

iluvzigz · 03-19-2007, 08:19 PM

Awesome man.. I bet you are soo excited.

like to see everything you get and setup.

vdituri · 03-19-2007, 08:32 PM

WOW! Now I know what I'm going to do when I get ready to enter that weight class. (I'm cycling a 55 to upgrade the 30) Great ideas and execution. I give it 10 clams up out of 10.

cheeks69 · 03-19-2007, 09:54 PM

Very cool can't wait to see it setup !
Also please post photos with the new bulbs as I hear great things about the phoenix 14k bulbs, do you know the PAR #'s on these bulbs ?

cioutlaw · 03-19-2007, 10:31 PM

I researched lighting for months & will say it is one of the more difficult decisions of the hobby. I went to buy some frags from a local club member & he had this identical set up. I really liked the color & he was obviously having success with his corals. Before I left I made a parts list

I will be sure to take pics of the canopy build. It might be awhile as im working some major O/T lately.

I dont remember what the par#s are Cheeks.

Here is the tank I modeled my lights after

iluvzigz · 03-19-2007, 11:23 PM

cant see the pic??

cioutlaw · 03-20-2007, 06:56 PM

Cheeks, I emailed The guy with a dup system & these are the par #s from his tank.

The peak PAR was about 1700-1800 right at surface of water. PAR at sandbed was about 300 or so (hard to get a good reading). PAR just under the water surface was ~1000.

iluvzigz..not sure whats wrong with the pic, I cant see it either. here is the link. IMG_1898.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
