Awesome, that was the exact one I was thinking about getting.

WOW what a beauty! I hope my 120 tech looks half this good someday.

New video of my tank:

Mark,

That's an incredible tank. Did you start with colonies or frags for your corals? I was wondering how that cooling fan was working out for you. Would you say they are quiet? I have a friend who is giving me one so when I am ready to get a controller I was going to set it up.

Thank you,all of my corals were grown from frags.I did transfer few bigger pieces from previous 65 gal.,but again all were frags.If you go to beginning of this thread You will see how this tank changed over a year.I like this cooling fan,it works great and is quiet.It cools my tank about 3 degrees,it is set up so it turns on when my main lights go on.

Mark

what an amazing growth in a year. Are you dosing two parts or Cal Reactor?

Thanks for sharing.

I dose 2 part from BRS using BRS dosers hooked up to my RKL.

Do those tek light fixtures over drive the t5 bulbs? Those things are extra bright.
Also what mode do you keep your vortechs on?

No I don't think they are overdriven,regular Tek ballasts,I guess ATI bulbs are this good.I keep my Vortechs on 100% reef crest and turn them down to 50% at night.

DreamReef · 06/18/2011, 03:27 PM

Can you share your bulb combination? Sorry if i missed it earlier in the thread. Ordering an ATI fixture soon. Thanks, and great looking tank!

mark54321 · 06/18/2011, 03:32 PM

Sure,here it is:

front to back:
ATI blue+
ATI purple

ATI aquablue

GE 6500

Looking really good Mark. I love the latest pictures man. What is the teal looking one on the back left? Would love to get a small colony of that. :-)

Fish4Me2 · 06/18/2011, 06:21 PM

Wow, your tank looks great. Seems like it's time for an upgrade!

clowndude · 06/18/2011, 06:33 PM

^^^ I agree. Time for a 6 foot tank :-)

mark54321 · 06/18/2011, 07:16 PM

Yeah,I wish,right now wife don't want to hear about bigger tank.The teal coral back left it is a teal stag, I'll bring you a frag when we meet in few months Nick, no problem, this thing grows like weed.

clowndude · 06/18/2011, 07:26 PM

Yea my wife is the same way. Thanks for the ID Mark. It sure is nice looking. Do you have a garf bonsai or any torts? If not I'll save you a couple.

mark54321 · 06/18/2011, 07:30 PM

I do have Cal Tort, but save me garf bonsai.

clowndude · 06/18/2011, 07:34 PM

Will do, it will be a small piece because it grows so slowwwww. Maybe by then it will double in size though. Will for sure save you a piece though.

lilopop11 · 06/19/2011, 09:16 AM

Nice Tank, and great growth ... Why your SPS color look different in the picture and video ?Where's more accurate ?

clowndude · 06/19/2011, 09:47 AM

^^^ I noticed that also and wondered which is closer to the real color. Hopefully the pictures as the video makes the color look a bit washed out.
