Blueheaven's 4ft Tank

[blueheaven]

I will feed them to make them grow fast.....

Aiyo my tank is 2.5ft deep how to feed?

Prec: Just chisel them off (I think)

Blenny: Nice joke!! Haha

[blueheaven]

Here's some new SPS I got from PR

Bluish purple acro (stag or hoek?) :wub:

Polyps are blue!!!!!

[blueheaven]

Light green corallite stag with blue growth tips (saw danano got one too)

[blueheaven]

Last but not least, here's the piece that danano handed to me

Its the most solid looking red mille amongst the others

[minsmarine]

Whooo, all the gems

Arm and leg ?

[blueheaven]

Arm and leg? Haha...quite ok la

Got 1 guy buy a box full of gems but left it there

Dunno who

[minsmarine]

Buy a box ? U kidding, where can he/she find the place man, unless tank is new

[blueheaven]

And rich too

[veliferium]

PR's sps sure looks great....

[mystery]

nice staff , worth the trip can pm me the price also?

[blueheaven]

This guy actually broke by itself while I removed the base

Oh well, looks nice anyway

[blueheaven]

This specimen also broke but its due to human error

[blueheaven]

A slightly underexposed shot of the mille

[blueheaven]

So where did the broken frags go?

[blueheaven]

I'm beginning to hate the BLVs

To yellow and cannot bring out some coral colours

[weileong]

could be age of bulb.

could be the ballast

or could be your eyes tuned to 20kk lights so 10kk appears yellow.

Need lights to bring out colors? Might as well run pure actinic.

Can't be age of bulb

Could be ballast

Could be due to eye problem (I'm a little colour blind)

Yeah I wish I could run actinic only

Oh well, guess I'll go get another 2 more T5s

[mystery]

yo! can post a full tank pic anot?

[blueheaven]

Ok I'll try tomorrow if I am free

Need to go collect some bottles

[blueheaven]

Haiz.... algal bloom did not subside after a month now

Was thinking whether dwarf hermits can help me clean things up

I have also changed my photoperiod:

9am to 3pm----T5s on

3pm to 9pm----MHs on

9pm MHs off

10pm T5s off

This way, I reduced the MH running time to 6hrs and extended the T5 running time to 13hrs

Another thing I am considering is changing from the current BLV 10ks to a more bluer bulb.

Considering the BLV 14k or Phoenix 14k or the most, BLV 20k

Need some suggestions from you guys here on the choices

[IanJ]

BLV 14000K is very white, no blue on my pendants, the Phoenix is blue or blue white depending on the ballast.

Switched from BLV 10,000K and cant say either had any effect on algae and my tank is covered in red algae

[AlfaRomeo]

IanJ, has the red algae gone worst when you switched over to 14kk?

U really dislike the colour of the BLV 10K??? i am using it too..at first a bit dislike , but now, used to it..The PAr value is much greater than the rest of the bulbs u mention

Not True. the BLV 14kk has equivalent PAR I think.
