Tyler's 34 Gallon Red Sea Max Tank Diary

[childress5tyler]

what kind of LED setup do you have?

 

[jerth6932]

2 aqua Illumination's Sol Blues over my 90g
and Currant Sunpod 20inch MH fixture over my 24g, with phoenix bulb. Heres a link to when I got the MH light https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/203132/the-bright-light
If you do a DIY Kit will you be able to control your intensity of your lighting? If so what are you going to use?

 

[childress5tyler]

Yeah, the ballask that I'm going to use has that built in feature using a protentiometer

I reaquascaped my rocks today...and I know its been said before but TOMORROW is the day I'm putting in my LEDs..
Really pumped to put them in and see how my tank looks and grows under them

Lookin' good Tyler! I'm happy that your tank is coming along well and everything is doing fine.

 

[childress5tyler]

thanks I really like the onyx clowns
I wanna get a mandarin goby also...but I don't wanna go too fast lol

 

[childress5tyler]

the torch coral that I added has opened up a lot since I put it in earlier today

 

[snakeblitz33]

Yeah, before long it will extend it's tentacles very far and start stinging everything in your tank and eating your fish. But they are pretty, aren't they?
