Today i got this harlequin tusk:
 I have always wanted to have one, but now that I have it on QT, I am having second thoughts about having it in my reef tank... I know he won't bother the corals but I am worried about the neon dottyback, randall goby and spotted mandarinfish... or even my perculas... do you think they will be safe? Or they will be lunch? |

Just rearranged the lights... insteqd of having them comming from the center I took them to the sides so the side view is well lot instead of full of shadows...
 I measured PAR after that and it is 100 at the bottom, all acros receive 200-380 I guess I could use more light, maybe a t5 fixture on the middle? More leds of the same kind? Some par38 spots to the acro zones? What would you do? |

This is the steel base of the old aquarium.
We are taking out sole part of the legs to make it shorter.  I wil trim the old aquarium to half it's height and it will become a frag tank !! |

I want to buy a dimable T5 lamp, saw ATI and Giesemann... any other brand you could recommend?
Meanwhile I installed a LED lamp I made some time ago. The PAR measurements improved but not too much, but the looks improved greatly, better colors and less shadows. The lamp has 81 LEDs divided in 9 channels, 4 different tupes of blue, 3 different types of UV, 2 types of white, 3 types of red and lime.     Will keep looking for a dimmable T5, either standalone or controllable with Neptune Apex... any suggestion is welcome !! |
