Hey guys.
Just a small update.
I decided to ditch the DIY LED lighting unit and spoil myself with a Kessil A350w, although it is a bit of an overkill, i suspended the light about 30-40cm above the tank display and i am running the light turned all the way down. As most of you know, the true coral colours cannot be seen properly with LED’s, there are quite a few more corals coming .

Cheers guys.

Ok guys so i just put my first piece of sps in, its a tiny piece of a frag so lets hope we can experience growth quickly.

Seems pretty cool, I have a spare tank around that's about 20ltr so I might aswell try this.. What material is the back of the internal chambers made off? Glass or plexi. And then can you post pics of that internal filter would be interesting to see how that runs the tank

 

[Muzwaid karim]

Hi Dhasvir
Its made of perspex, pm me, i’ll send you some pics.

 

[Muzwaid karim]

Hey guys.
