A little update

 

[kidtango]

Nice build. Becareful with tuning the mitras. The whites on that fixture can burn acros. I have two of them and are currently using them in conjunction with other fixtures.

The spread is awesome. Have fun!

@kidtango what do you recommend putting left to right my rock scape is open

@kidtango what do you recommend putting left to right my rock scape is open

What's your plan? What type of corals? I run the whites at 15% max... but I have other fixtures to provide the full spectrum for the corals.

 

[reef fish]

Mostly sps

 

[kidtango]

Mostly sps

Cool, then just watch the intensity if the white leds. I keep mine at 15%. I recommend you start there n ramp up slowly. No more than 3-4 hours a day.

The blue white is real nice. I run it at 70% peak n ramp down.

Was wondering what happened with this build. Can't wait for an update!

 

[reef fish]

So here the update on the tank
Tank was setup on we notice the sump was to small also we did't put a check valve big mistake on my part

 

[reef fish]

So I new a new sump had to come taking out the out the old sump was a big job as everything was so pack together and while take out out display panle broke

 

[ws6kid]

Pretty new sump. That is a lot of work for sure.

 

[reef fish]

So the new build of my sump area started

 

[pelphrey]

That sump is awesome!!

Are you still using the M1? How is it working with that manifold?
