Converted Juwel 450 Bow Front

yeah wrasse do like to jump an I had a blenny that liked to do the same thing,found
im all dried up on the brace bar one morning.everything is huffing in my tank today
as there was a real bad outbreak of red slime so I used some red slime remover
and the corals didnt like that,they done this over a year ago when I used the syuff
but they all came back that time too.havin to put the T5 ights on hold until
I get a new job but thinkin a 20k halide bulb,still wanna get that light set up you have
its amazing.

I would def recommend the ATI T5's mate and the dimmable ballasts with GHL Profilux gives you great control but check out the range of led's too mate, there seems to be more new products and brands on the market every week, def worth looking into, but still a way to go I think for sps.

nah well looking at ur set up id rather do the T5's
everythings growing out of the tank...you will need an upgrade soon
to keep them lol.still have a few zoa frags if you want them?
I was falt out yesterday and today...that red slime remover has
just about crashed my tank so a big water change last night and
another today to make sure its all out of the tank, unless they come
round again the only thing that has survived is the softies,lps and two
of the frags you gave me are starting to polyp now so they might
survive too.used it before with no problems but this time is a disaster.

I reckon I'll try and stay with what I have mate, it takes up enough time without a bigger setup demanding more lol. You're not having a great time of it mate at the minute but keep up the hard work and get on top of it and you'll start to enjoy it better. I'll get them zoa's off you mate nor probs, and when you feel ready to start stocking again let me know to get you some more frags

[ejit]

well the other water change might have saved me.....have seen some spots
of colour appear on the white corals lol.

as for zoas I have twelve heads of the purple ones with your name on them



these ones took a dent from digging by a wrasse and cleaner shrimp but I have managed to frag
five heads off them for you too.



once the rest of them start growing again ill frag more for you.

hi very impressive tank you have there mi looking to purchase the same light unit for my 5f is yours the 118cm or 148cm and could you tell me were you purchased yours from ? thank you paul

Hi, my ATI is the 118cm 8x54w mate. I purchased mine through a lfs in Dublin, but there are a few suppliers out there via the net. I don't think you will regret your purchase, but consider the dimmable option before you buy as it could be a costly upgrade at a later stage.
