If they're wild caught, releasing them back shouldn't be an issue... how long have you had them would be the question though.

Chalice under 2x IceCap LED moonlight tubes. The ZEOnano9020 lit by dual KorallenZucht New Gen 14k lamps at roughly 5% - just before lights out. Both photos taken with an iPhone ;)

I'm running the GHL Profilux II - haven't had a chance to upgrade to the III yet. In terms of what I use it to do, I think this is the full list: - Maintain temperature of the system (heating & cooling) - Run full lighting cycle (dawn/dusk, storms, clouds etc Moonlight again once I get an extra...

Quick photo update :)

You wanted an update, ya got one :) a few top downs I took a few days back - still working my camera out etc, so they're not the best. Also I'm battling parameters due to a RBS issue which is now solved so thing should be getting back on the right track. Anyway, here are some of those top...

Just a photo to show you what's in the tank currently. Hoping to have some new camera gear soon, so stay tuned for better photos in the near future.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The tank was fairly well planned out, but when you've setup enough tanks, things just come together easier each time :) ...as for the toys, well, what can I say, ha ha

Hi Neil, I'm out in the UK, have been now for almost 5 years I think :) I'll post details about my dosing schedule when I get a chance, but I can tell you that I use pretty much nearly everything in the KZ range :thumbup:

A few details: Tank size: 600mm long x 600mm wide x 350mm high – water level sits at 310mm Sump area: 600mm long x 100mm wide x 350mm high Material: 10mm acrylic with the rear/sump wall being in 10mm black acrylic Return pump: Tunze Silence 1073.008 @ 50% Filtration: ZEOvit method, ATB...

Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated. Here is a collection of images showing the progression of this tank:

Hi all, Just a few images from my new system. Will post updates and more info when I get a chance.

As far as I know, the US guys use the term SLR - Single Lamp Reflector :)

I'm really not sure what is available in SA, but it might even pay you to buy some reflectors from vendors in Europe and have them shipped over. Basically the reflectors are 'gullwing shaped' or dual 'U' shaped. Idea is that this shape pulls the light reflectors upwards from the tube down and...

Individual reflectors - otherwise you're just wasting your time IMHO. I would even suggest buying the so called SLR reflectors - they have been designed to ensure pretty much all the light created by each T5 tube is directed down into your tank. If you're going to do this, do it right and...

Excellent advise Anthony :thumbup: ...something else to bare in mind here. The bigger the system the more stable it is and you could probably do less water changes, however, with small systems such as nano reef's, regular weekly water changes of 10% is the way to go - that's what I do and...
