Show off a Full Tank Photo and tell us what lights you are running over your reef within the same post! I would love to see a variety of reef under a variety of lights.

Running LED? What brand?
Running Metal Halide? What Ballast, reflectors and Bulbs?
Running T5? What brand and bulbs?
Etc...

Try to keep it to FTS only!

Let's GO!

Thought I would share...
Here is my old 55 with t5s. (Ran for a few years)
img_8505-1-jpg.395237

Then I upgraded to my 220 with (3) 400w MH. (Ran for a couple years)
img_6170-jpg.395238

Then I changed to (3) AI Hydra 52HD. (Ran for about ten months)
img_8513-2-jpg.395239

Currently I am adding (2) 24" two bulb fixtures to my Hydras. One fixture is done waiting for the other. I will post some updates and pics when the LED/T5 combo has been running for a while. Any who here is a picture I took yesterday with one T5 fixture with my Hydras...
