It's so neon! But that's a good thing. Did I see more than one pair of clowns?

After a painful mistake on over reacting on bleach leaching that leads to STNing my pearl of the pacific and losing my favorite acro ( efflo ) from excessive dipping
Here is my tank right now.
I move some piece when I take some off while dipping
Also create a spot for bill acropora colony

some pieces needs to color up from being move
Hopefully in no time
Now All i need a orange digitata colony
So I can concentrate on my Fowlr

I used to have 6 pairs of clown wituput major issues but they get territorial, getting big and constantly biting me so I sold them
Now I have 4 black and white and the 1 occelaris still bites me every time I get close to the anemone.

 

[travelerjp98]

Wow, I forgot how impressive this one was!

Thanks
Just out of curiosity, How long have you had you cleaner wrasse? I ask because we have had ours now for well over a year.

 

[bullitr]

Thanks Gemmy
I have the pair of cleaners for more than a year now
The last successful one that I had was 4-5 years old until a velvet wipe the whole tank out

WOW....so red....looks neat

 

[smallreef]

WOW awesome pictures... if those are the true colors I LOVE IT! looks like all the fake wanna be corals but ALIVE!!

 

[bullitr]

Thank you
I actually turn down the red LEDs and the red on post production to make it realistic
Some people will say its much brighter in person

 

[gemmy]

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lubeck]

Unbelievable!! I wish I could see it in person. It jus goes to show that DIY LEDs are the way to go huh. When I'm ready for the upgrade I need to come back to this post for the led recipe.
I do remember you saying you still prefer MHs though huh. Is it more because of the color or growth?

 

[bullitr]

Thank you
For acropora metal halide is still best for color and growth
Specially if you supplement with LEDs But I can't afford to have 2000+ watts on lights alone plus non stop chiller during the summer.
T5 have a best spread but cost too much bulbs every month plus it looks dull compared to metal halide or better made LEDs it also lacking shimmer.
Just me opinion you can agree or disagree its a matter of preference
Good day
