    I thought i would include an FTS.
    This is a young tank with hair algae every where. the cup floating has a spiny astrea snail from my other tank to help with the algae. I got one fish in there, a tiny pajama cardinal less than an inch.

    side shot.

    I modded the back middle chamber to have a small fuge with rubble and chaeto. NO BIO BALLS:p

    i got 1 red monti cap a zoa frag 1 blue shroom and a small frogspawn just to test the growth and health of this system. fairly simple corals but it does give me a range of corals to test the sytem with. Stay tuned for updates folks

    That does look very nice. I think I might like the bluer light. I have the 3 blue 2 white on my 5 gallon.

    Pic update

    Im real happy with the way his tank is turning out. It was born jan10/2011 and has progressed well since.now about 4 months later the tank is starting to look like a reef. ultimately this will be a zoa and paly garden with basic sps and few lps.

    the par30 is a wicked bulb, like it more and more everyday. I actually prefer this bulb vs the 6 bulb T5 over my 29g biocube.

    anyways enjoy the pics.

    Pics looks great! Corals look really cool and fluorescent! :)

    To get rid of that mad face, click edit post, click go advanced, and scroll down a bit and click no icon. ;)
