Tank looks awesome Ed hows the cycle going

 

[Edwardw771]

Hair algee is full bloom. Hopefully the new lamps will slow it down. i got 2 little yellow tangs in there and they are eating it up.

Cycling is always such a test of your patients, Good Luck with it!

I do like you aquascape a lot, looks like lots of open space for swimming and coral growth.

On the T-5 aray, do you see any varyation in lighting, intensity, or otherwise with the 39w & 54w bulbs staggered like than, or does the overall staggered pattern make up for it? I'd like to see an FTS with it all lit up HA or not!

 

[Edwardw771]

the 39ws and the 54ws are every close to the same brightness wise. I tried to stagger where they line up to not have a dark spot in the middle of the tank. With this light combo the tank look very crisp. And the Hair Algae glows green. I'll ask Jen to take some pics tonight.

 

[nyfireman3097]

lol I remember that stage my tank was nuttin but HA it was everywhere. I added 10 mexican turbos and the next morning the tank was spotless it was amazing

 

[Edwardw771]

Heres some pics with a point and shoot. don't do the colors justice.

 

[roadking05]

Ed, do something with that HA!!!! Take the rock out and nuke it or something.

 

[mikem]

Dan. He's waiting for you to stop over and make him some kind of moving gadget to move the lights and canopy over on a rail so he can reach in the tank to pull the rocks out.

 

[mikem]

It is looking better Ed.

 

[Edwardw771]

those two little tangs are eating the HR so fast its coming out the other end all the time. They have cleaned one rock almost all the way off in a week. This weekend I'm going to pull the light hood off and take the rocks out and pull off as much as I can.

 

[steve68]

Any updates Edd?

 

[Edwardw771]

I'll try to post some pics. I have like 7 fish in there now. Large Hippo and Large purple tangs (Both a little bangged up on the fins but starting to get better)2 little yellow tangs, A Mandarin, a little clown and 2 blue clear cardnals.

I put alot of my zoas on big flat rock. They look really cool under the ATI Blue Atinics T5s. Got a nice SPS colony from Stan that is doing well and few other sps's all doing very well under the T5s. Need to get the rocks to purple up. Hair Algee is compleately gone. Clean up crew from the group buy is going crazy in there what a great addition.
