Jeneratesomefun's 180g

jeneratesomefun · May 11, 2014

Here are some pics of our 180g tank, and a couple of the process of moving our old 55g to make room for the 180. I should have taken many more.. But there is still much work to be done under the hood and i'll definitely have my phone ready. :wink:

Moving the 55

So excited over the Radions!

Beastly in comparison!

My assistant/supervisor...

Sump left side (light *Just* burned out). Took some seriously low-cost options to hold my filter socks and a LR wall/container/filter until I have time to upgrade/really correct. Works like a charm in the meantime!

Very nice! Looked like a smooth transition, I like the Tupperware as a sock hold idea too!

What do you keep your Radion when's that hit there peak?? I have exact same set up, just curious!! I have my peak run for 6 hours and my blues are at 100, red is at 45, green is at 25, cool white is at 75 and overall brightness of fixture is 75%

Oh boy Gwitness, i'm going to have to whip out my laptop and see what I last set it as! I try not to play with it too much so I can if there is any improvement with each setting. I want to say my overall brightness is currently at 80%... I slowly increased it over a couple months - the acro's just weren't getting what they needed. LEDs have been tricky for me to dial in in comparison to what the MHs provide. Considering actually adding a MH or T5 over the tank for a couple hours a day just for the additional spectrum. How do you like your current color combo and lighting strength?

I'll check out my params tomorrow and post them for you. I do need to adjust anyways with the late daylight hours we have moving into the summer (Dark tank at 9pm? Uhhh, no! :nono: ). Hoping my ReefLink will be in too to make the whole process easier. :happy:

Hahahaha yeah the Radions get annoying but I love how my schedule is now and the color it is.....my corals seem to love it...my acros seem happy with polyps out all day, some are colored good and some are not what I think they could be
...I'm about to add 4 T5s to my canopy though to run them along with my radions during peak only!!! 2 bulbs in front and 2 bulbs in back of canopy and radions in the middle

Yep you're about where I am! Colors improved, however just a couple are not hitting that color thresh hold I feel they should be at (heck, I can't even tell/remember what type of Milli one is!). I may even try moving them in the tank just to see... Actually... That just might be the trick. Light bulb!

I want to order the rails for the Radions, and then rig either a MH or T5s to that try and make it a little more aesthetically pleasing. Definitely peak only. Sounds like you'll get around to the change before I do... I'll anxiously await your results! :thumb: hehehehe

Do you have any pics of your tank/build up on the site?
