Smitty's 37gal reef

That Dendro is awesome. I picked up a 3 headed frag on Monday, and for whatever reason my Emerald crab decided to poke at it today and it hasn't opened up all day That is a badass looking Torch as well!

Thanks Tom.

My lights arrived today...I'm giddy.

Alright guys, I put the light up. It looks "ok", I guess I have to get used to it, instead of the mh.

 

[Smitty]

Just the actinics...

ive seen that same ligt over a much larger tank and everything is doing good personally id try to raise them to get a more full look i think they look good tho if u dont mind dark edges maybe a place for some low light stuff

Yeah, I'm thinking of raising them some more, to try to distribute the light some more. Right now, I have the light raised about 20in from the water surface. That's what I'm not liking so far is the dark corners, my halide seemed to distribute the light a lil' more evenly.

thats weird but u should be able to get the stretch u want the tank i seen it on was a customer i worked for the light was on the ceiling and the tank was a bow front larger than a 75 i know that tank was bright and had shimmmer in tank and floor

 

[Smitty]

I'm probably gonna try that...put the light pretty much on the ceiling to get that light spread. Even on the ceiling, the light should still give good light readings.

 

[Smitty]

I've mounted the Led's on the ceiling, and I must say it looks better, with better light spread throughout the tank.

 

[Smitty]

The pic doesn't do it any justice, but the tank looks just as bright, but more throughout the tank.

Went by a mom&pop lfs and saw they had a fuzzy mushroom rock for $47.00, but it wasn't looking to good. I told the owner that it looked really bad and may die. He agreed and offered it to me for $15.00. It has approx 9 mushrooms on it. I bet I can make it nice and healthy again.
