Oceanseeker's 500L Aquarium

Well Done..impressive DT..Lovely vibrany colours and good quality lights..;)
 
Nice tank, well done :)
 
Still think it is a Duncan, love the green inside. Pls rem me if you ever have to get rid of one head ;)

Hi Len, there are two heads at the base of the coral that dont get much light that I was thinking of breaking off, but its doing so well there and I dare disturb it.

What is weird is that my clown fish has homed into it and the frogspawn doesnt mind at all.

Here is a closeup pic of the Frogspawn under actinics - still not sure if its a Duncan Frogspawn

Hey 2time, Im currently running

1x 54w White T5 + 2x 54w Actinics
2x 39w White T5 + 1x 39w Actinics

Im thinking of either 3 x 54w Actinics and 2 x 54w Whites or a LED setup if the budget allows

And you say your tank is 70cm high?
My tank is 120L x 50W x 70H and i'm running 8 54w T5's(2 odyssea quad units). Starting to think its too much now lol.

What make are your lights?

Sounds like you have too much light there. My 39w only go on for part of the day. I may be wrong but too much light to grow corals fast is not natural and long term im sure there are side effects, what I dont know

What dont you turn off two bulbs and see how your system runs - you will save on electricity as well. For this reason im exploring LED's. Its a no brainer to convert, but the initial cost will need some saving up

Definitely some diverse genes in there...

I'm going to leave two of the globes off for a few days and see how the tank reacts to it.
 
Other - Coralline Algae

Hi guys

Let me start witha pic of something completely different - a pic of some algae growing / plating on my rock. I have a large rock vertically placed where this is growing. There also seems to be some combination of pink and white dots - not sure what the name for this is
