Would I have to aquacape again?

 

[Prince23]

[Prince23]

I might try to aquascape again, it’s just harder for me since it’s a tall tank.

 

[Prince23]

I just put the two more into the mix tonight!! Waiting on 3 more blues to come in all xr15’s I’m running 10 total 3 pros 7 blues!!! (Well when they get here hahha

 

[Prince23]

Get deep penetration!! Xr15’s!! I went through the same!! I went from t5’s spanning to kessil, yup even Ai’s funny enough echo tech makes radions and a bunch of other. Best bang for buck and won’t let you down. Radion. Just watch the growth!!! And shimmer can’t be beat

[frankin09]

How much are the lights?

 

[Prince23]

I’m fighting a little bacterial bloom atm!! Will be gone in a day or so. I do not run a filter!!! Just flow management!!! Running 6 Nero 5’s and just added a bunch of coral!!! Hence my bloom

 

[Prince23]

So the lights are 575 a piece in Canada but you don’t have to get em new look on Kijiji or some other. But make sure there gen 5 and go with the blue. I do love the pros but I find they work best with or in place of blues!!! ( I know a bunch of people will say there the same or you can control them to do the same but I’ll tell you different and show to prove

For sure. The Fluval Marine line of lights are pretty much useless for seeing any serious growth in coral, and are usually only used for FOWLR tanks.

You might be able to get by with it for now because it looks like you might only have softies?

I will look into a different light but i mainly see really expensive ones.

 

[Prince23]

Yes there a little more pricey I get it but do the math!! Long run!! Yes the light will cost a bit more. But the electricity you save and the growth!! Not too mention the al mighty sit down and ahhh look what I did. And the neighbours kids wanting to see the entire show. Hahha yeah. It pays off for your corals you entire tank and invertebrates!! Promise!! God I sound like a sales rep!! But no really I just want all to have the tank they really want!! The light definitely does more than what it talked about

Would an AI prime be good? But my tank is 30inx12.5inx22.5in

Might need two, but yes, the AI Prime is an excellent light.
