Tank Entry

Exciting new stuff for the tank. Got my new reactor and pump installed on the tank and a new fish! The clowns won't be in here for too much longer since they'll be moving to the 10g and I couldn't pass this guy up.

So a couple weeks ago i bought a 50W led array off ebay. I ordered the LED and Driver combo and a separate heatsink and 90 degree optic. The LED was listed as 20k color...... but its a cheap ebay LED so i dunno how accurate that color rating is. The parts were shipped from hong kong so it took a couple weeks to get here. I just got around to slapping it all together except for a power source for the heatsink fan. Its wicked bright and the color of the light looks bluish its definitely not real yellow. ...

Here is an video update of my tank. The orange spot file fish are eating just about everything I put in the tank, flakes, pellets, mysis and their favorite nutramar ova. All three leopard wrasses are doing very well too.

The banded coral shrimp actually released babies again last night.

The corals are growing well (as far as my newbie eyes can tell) under my led lights.

So finally I decided to work on my lighting again. As most can recall I bought a Current USA 4-T5 light fixture. I took the canopy completely out and been running that fixture. But, the ultimate plan was to put that fixture in my canopy. Curent USA makes the fixture to fit in most canopies.

My son came over to visit me yesterday and he helped me put the fixture in the canopy. I have two 110 VHO bulbs in the front and now have the 4-54 watts T5s in the back.

Here's the promised update. My tank is now 6 months and 3 days old.

I've had this coral about 6 years, obtained just before Extreme Corals opened for business. ...
