    Default Hello again.

    Posting pics of my first tank which is very small in comparison to some!

    Let me know your thoughts etc.

    90l

    3x 10k white t5
    3x blue actinic t5

    Modded light fitting/tank to fit both the above with the tank

    2x korallia nano 1600lph
    V2skim 300, modded tank to fit.
    100w heater

    Xenia, zoa and some shrooms, fair bit of aiptasia too, but picking my peppermint shrimps up tomorrow. GHA on glass too but staying on top, so far.....



    Thoughts?

    Comments?

    He was at the bottom middle. A piece of LR that looks just like a grumpy face from my seating position but I have changed the picture now so that the tank is clearer.

    First one was taken from my phone..

    There are some micro bubbles due to the type of skimmer I am using but not too many. I hope this is more evident in the new picture.

    My blasto is mid tank and may need to be moved but I'll see how it goes.

    coming along mate still cant see the grumpy man, blastos dont tend to like too much direct light.

    If you ever need any pointers we also have a coral care section on our site.
    The key with them is seeing how well they are inflating if they are puffing up well then they are probably alright where they are
    Cheers

    This is the lighting that I ended up with with after the t5 lighting thread which can be found here: http://www.reefcentral.co.uk/showthr...26222-T5-Bulbs

    Couldn't decide where to put it but thought here would be better with a link.

    May be a little too pink for some on camera but very pleasing to our eyes here! Looks like it's not real from some angles if that makes sense. In a good way of course.

    Aqua Blue
    10k White
    Pro Colour
    10k White
    Purple Plus
    Aqua Blue

    And heres what it looks like:



    And in the morning and evening for an hour each end:



    And under night LED's:



    Me and wifey, likey likey likey, little one thinks it's pretty cool too.
