That fixture is nostalgic for me. I just love looking at bright full coverage from halide.

Yea man. This tank was supposed to be a short term thing as I made a ‘quick’ move. With the lack of housing available in my area, im running into a few snags

I feel the same with T5s on my 120.
Thinking about adding a 250watt MH to the 20 cube

Not exactly nano related but I was pretty excited about scoring a like new 72" Giesemann Spectra with 250w HQI ballasts and brand new radiums. I also have 400w electronic ballasts + bulbs should I want to change down the line. Now I just have to close on the house and choose a tank . I'm local to Coast to Coast aquarium so I'll have them build a tank for this light

Just a quick update. Growth has been taking off on a bunch of pieces. Over the last few weeks I had to increase All for reef dosing 30% to keep up. Up to 30ml daily now. Still have to dose 120ml of b-ionc magnesium weekly to stay around 1300. Things haven't been super smooth though. I don't have a tank full of easier SPS. It's a little more tricky in a 25g tank as well. SPS tissue bubble and bubble algae have been annoying. This will be the last month this tank is up before it has to be moved on 11/1 to a new house... finally! I plan on keeping this tank running there while I am in the process of getting a larger reef together again. I'll update the day before and after the move. Hopefully I don't mess stuff up too much

Interesting. I have been running this 25 for like a year now. Just moved to a different house so I have to re aquascape everything. Before the move i had some great success on growing some of the tenuis like this one, cherry bomb. Now i am just waiting for the newer tank to stable. Its hard to see mixed sps dominant tanks.

Your colors look freakin awesome! What are you using for lighting? I started this tank with an XR-15 but the coverage wasn't enough for the length of the tank unless I grew easier stuff on the outer perimeter. Eventually I'll go back to led on it but I'll probably go with an XR-30 or something similar. I have a cherry bomb in here too. Colors are a little faded being under high par with a drop inn nutrient from bubble algae growth at the moment. I dropped the alk and I'm taking advantage of the faster growth rate for now. Keep up the good work!

Hey buddy! Just seeing this thread and read through the whole thing. Following along as well. I'm cycling a 25 peninsula as we speak. Love this build you have going.
Looks like you haven't updated since the move. How did it go?!
