FX CharityCorals · Nov 13, 2008

Right now nothing new really. Im getting bored with it. Im fragging a whole bunch of stuff up. I kind of want to go in a different direction but dont know what.

I am going through some boredom on my tank. Im not sure what direction I want to take it. I like my rock structure so I dont want to change that. I want to kill my tusk.
I would love to ditch the t-5s and go to halides but money is not in the books for that.

What should I do?

Why do you want to kill your H Tusk? It's always been one of my favorite fish.

Great looking corals!

He keeps flipping over all my corals on top of one another and has killed a few fish that were not on the cheap side.

That scroll is insane!

Man that is an awesome tank! I can't imagine why you'd want to change a thing, besides maybe the tusk...

Beautiful tank , love the Acan obsession

FX CharityCorals · Nov 14, 2008

Well very shortly I should be switching my lighting over to halides. Im not really digging the t-5 lighting. Im going to be moving to 3 250watt HQI on Phoenix Bulbs in Reef Optix pendants.

Was he one of the first fish that you got or one of the last?

He was one of the last and was fine for 6 months. Now he is just a menace.

new pics Jason...

What made you want to go from T5s back to MHs?

FX CharityCorals · Nov 23, 2008

I just completed the switch to halides. I went to 3 250w HQI in ReefOptix reflectors with phoenix 14k bulbs.

I switched because I was noticing after having some of the corals in my tank for a few months the colors would dull down from the time I got them. When I moved some of the corals in my main tank to my frag tank which is under halides everything looked alot better.

I feel this is due to alot of coral color pigments are uv induced. Halides give off more uv then t-5s so I believe this will recolor up some of the corals. Also when it came to bulb replacement on the Constellation fixture 14 bulbs was getting ridiculous
