This was ridiculous to navigate and carry to the basement. We took a break half way but successfully got it in place!

I'm so jealous of the build quality of that tank... :)
I was pleasantly surprised. Although it isn't filled with water yet haha.

Thanks. It is an SCA tank 60x30x20 drilled for a shadow overflow.

The clowns are doing great in QT at the moment other than one being a little aggressive. I may have to put an insert to split them up for a short while.

Well I got the main tank filled and half the rock and sand in. My right side aquascape had a malfunction and one of the overhangs fell and needed some additional support and epoxy.



Right side being reworked

Do you think your "wasting" T5 bulb life on a cycle? If the bulbs are used I see no problems but new bulbs on a cycle seems pointless.

As for my actual question. What bulb combo do you plan to run ...number of bulbs. Color combo and bulb location on fixture.


I'm following an edited version of the 8bulb below. But will be replacing 2 of my current blue plus to coral plus.
I am running 3 antinics as well. As I read that with 8bulbs there's enough par that an antinic will compliment the colors and plenty of par/pur

Bulbs were on just for the picture. I won't run them for a majority of the cycle and will certainly ease into it when I do.

The bulbs are, from front to back:

Coral+
Blue+
Blue+
Coral+
E5 blue pop
Blue+

Unsure of final bulb combo though at this time.

Nice frag pack.
Is this going in a quarantine tank for corals or in general for observation.

After the dip. I'd say it's ready for the display. Corals don't get affected by cycles from what others told me 4yrs ago.
Other than them being covered in blooms and not getting photo periods. Stay ontop of blowing it off with a baster and the display is good
