Rich's San Francisco Build

[Reefer831]

Just a little update. I know Andy is going to love this one.
As far as lighting goes. I switched my 6 bulb ATI fixture to all Blue+ so these pictures are representative of the new spectrum of my tank. I like it blue



And before you ask me if I know how to make them bubble, I don't. These things have a "mind" of their own.

you know I had to make this my desk top

Heck of a job. Looks great. Im going to follow and see your progress with the blue plus set up.

Nice pics Rich! I've been thinking about going all Blue+ on one of my tanks.

In person it's very blue almost to the point that I don't like it. However, my sps really seem to be developing much deeper coloration since the switch. I'm going to give it another month before I make up my mind.

Picked up a few nice SPS colonies today. And since I had the camera out I thought I'd have some fun

One last little update.

New stick under Actinics. The Red tips are insane


CC Darth Maul Favia - Finally got the right spot and the colors are fantastic


Cool little shroom I've had for a year or so


Adonis


This are cool. Too bad there is so much bryopsis


Still one of my favorites


Twinspot Goby's Watermelon Psammacora - Directly from Frank


Utter Chaos causing havoc with the bottom of my tank. They have anchored themselves down.


CB Pandora Chalice - So underrated


One of my favorites from TopNotch Corals


Got the colors just right on the Bounce

How good do the Adonis grow? I have been wanting to get one.

Started out growing super fast but have slowed down. I think it started with 3 polyps. Now there are 4 plus 3-4 nubs forming.

Hey maybe I missed it in the Posts, but how do you have your t5 mounted for your tank?

I used half inch conduit and bent it how I wanted. Then used brackets and strut channel to mount it to the side of the tank

What are the components on the side of your light? Thanks for showing!

I added two reefbrites to the side of the ati fixture. Just bought some aluminum flashing from Lowes and drilled a few small holes.
