just one of the like 33 inch ones, its mounted on the front of the canopy angled down. they are very bright!

Thanks for the update stangchris. Is it just one or 2 that you have running?

@mustang- I'm using the icecap led bar, believe coralvue is making them now

@neelix- I have a variety of corals pretty much all corals have some bioflourecents to them,the video doesn't even come close to capturing the real colors that show up. I have a large red cap up top, neon green acro up top, hot pink chalice to name a few.

the corals are flourescing underneath the moonlights... most blue led's will cause it

Now, I've been running a marine tank for several years now, and am just now getting into the whole "reef" system, so bear with me on the newb question. But I gotta know what kinds of coral those are, glowing like that!! Or, is it just your type of moon lights?

Nice videos what kind of moon lights are you running? Thanks

@hat: i used to have a 250 w MH
@melev: yea i miss the shimmer the color is great but a lot of my buddies that went t5 didnt get the same growth unless they changed bulbs every 6 months and with 6 bulbs that adds up quick
@Blown: thanks never thought i would be this successful in this hobby considering how A.D.D. iam and drop other hobbies

Added a upskirt shot of my filtration system

Why do you want to switch back to MH? You don't like the coloration or the lack of a shimmer effect?

Looks great!

Very beautiful Chris! You said you have a 6 T5, what did you have on the other setup? ;-)

thanks for the comments everyone
@The beautiful Jessy, hmm that sounds like a good deal but I really love my mp40 how bout a new mp10 ES and the RKL

Nice tank. I'll marry you if you send me your mp40 and your RKL ... I'm a cheap date what can I say?

Looks great ! Nice seeing another 65 gallon reef.

@Phil, come and join the the rest of us in the 65 gal reef club.

i like the 36inch tanks you can fit them anywhere and lighting them for sps wont break the bank. same with other equipment my mp40 is just about over kill, i have it at dialed at about half power and its plenty of flow

Looking good! I keep talking myself out of converting my 65 gal planted tank to a reef, your making it harder.

Nice tank and minis!

thank you Hat, some stuff is a lil brown, i hope they color back up

Your tank looks beautiful Chris! You have a nice mix of corals that look real nice. ;-)

it was incrusted on a frag disc then used epoxy and superglue gel

I know, it looks awesome! How did you hang that monti?
