Re: saintly's son try's his hand
nice job on the luminaire support,i'd hang fire on reducing the height till youve worked under it,personally i had my halides suspended from the ceiling when i had my reef and even with the lights as high as i could get them it was still too hot/uncomfortable to work under them for any more than 5 mins without a break but i had 2 250w and didnt turn them of when doing maintenence,had to wear gloves to move them up where they were hot but they were the older arcadia ones so the newer ones may run cooler.
cheers dave

Re: saintly's son try's his hand
a couple of shots, no amazing photography skills here....it's even out of focus, hey ho
there's a gamble or 2 in this tank, but i need to learn one or 2 things and choosing "trendy" plants isnt going to help me learn. but there a couple of "common" plants in their 8)
the focal point is Alternanthera rosaefolia....
directly after planting
stems anyone?..... 😛

You're a lucky man, I'd love to run metal halide.
It looks good, I'm envious, c'mon you're not going to tease use with the pictures and not show us a frontal shot are you?

My mistake! I thought there was no water in it and totally dismissed it! Now that surely says a lot about the quality of the products you're using.

Re: saintly's son try's his hand
very nice,used to love the dappling effect the halides gave on my reef so can imagine how nice it must look in a planted tank.
looking forward to seeing this grow if your MA scape is anything to go by.
cheers dave
