Yeah the hulk looks better I saw them both in person .... I just picked up a season greetings today its a sick one not your average evergreen color mines a nuclear green ... Out of any coral there mystic sunset monti is the brightest coral in the shop , is a neon pink with blue/purple polyps .... It hurts your eyes its encrusting the bottom of there 500g next to some other crazy montis . They run all t5 ho blue bulbs and 30 different kinds of led supplement strips all of the blue variety and run halide for like 2-3 hr a day . Its pretty sick the growth and color they get as well .

I am moving the end of this month ... I just sold off my entire tank and coral collection ... I just figured I would rebuild it when I get setup up there .. I think I am getting a 65g with 6 t5s . I am debating if I should buy a ro/di unit and salt and mix it myself or buy it from a store up there .. What kind of salt does the coral reef use ?

The coral reef uses Instant Ocean. My RODI is one of the best purchases I have made.

I know for a fact AM uses IO and when Christopher worked at CR he told me they use IO.
Plain IO and not RC? What used to happen at CR when Chris worked there has no bearing on what happens now at CR. hah hah
I know, for a fact that CR moved to using RC because I helped out with the decision making on it. What I don't know is whether they still use it or not.

I decided I am going to sell one of my high end guitars and go all out on this tank .. I am hoping to go get this setup tommorow ...... 65g reef ready with stand , canopy , 29g sump with euroreef skimmer . for light 6 icecap retro t5's with 3 powerbrite blue leds pretty good start huh all used for a very fair price ? Here is the last know photo of my tank I just sold off last week haha .
Biocube 14 with a ai nano , vortech mp 10 and intank media basket .. It was about as tricked out as I could get it the growth was awesome and so was the color but all led's just didn't do it for me . I mean with normal lights you have to worry about placement of coral with led's you have to worry about how much % you want them on and coral placement . I didn't know if It was my coral placement or the lights were to bright or to dim . Its just to tricky so I am going to have t5 for my primary lights with just some blue led's for my supplement .

Well its official ... signed the contract on a sick house in the cedar bluff/ walker spring area ... perfect bonus room above the garage for a reef den . Its 5 miles to the coral reef, I think i am going to do a 70g cube or 93 g instead of the 17g

I saw that before haha ..... If it still available when I move up here I am buying it for sure . I am not sure on how to light it yet.... I bought a ai sol blue with the intentions of putting it on a solana or 17g .... So I am going to have to double up on them or get t5's and put them with the sol which might work pretty well. I could have the t5's on with the blue led's all day and for a hour crank the whites up really high for growth .
I might go 120g idk yet .Similar threads
