Thanks everybody and jaa1456 I'll be using a par 30 from BoostLED.com
For those with that light setup how many hours a day do you leave your light on?

With my Wingo Savior LED it was adjustable but with this it's simply on or off.

Right now I have it at 7.5 hrs a day.

You could get the Ledtric moonpop light that clamps on neatly on the goosenecks we have for the par30 if you want a moonlight phase.
I'm still undecided in getting them as the least I can get away with is 2 of the moonpops which add up to around $120. One is perfect for your tank.
Either that or I'm getting 2 more goosenecks and put in the 4 watt blue leds for moonligt over my tank.

 

[JeremyXXX]

yea eventually I'll add that on just broke at the moment from setting it all up lol

For your tank the Moonpop will kill your FTS look. I feel 2 more goosenecks look more consistent with your existing goosenecks.

Tanks are real money pits Jeremy. Lol.

Yup. That's what I was thinking too Wingo.
A couple of those small 4watt (par20 I believe) would probably be great as moonlight.
I just need to find a black finish on those and something with a 60deg or more spread.

Come pick up some frags. I can't be more than 5 mins away.

 

[aabiuso]

looks good you gotta stop by to see mine sorry me and dave got you back into it but you got me and him started in the first place haha

Will do my friend! My friend just gave me a green reef who seems to be doing well starting to swim all over the tank and explore - first feeding tonight.

Well...my par 30 reef lamp kit came from BoostLED.com the other day and I'm loving it so far. It gives off a great shimmer affect with minimal heat. Here are some pictures sorry but the iPhone does not do it justice...looks 10x better in person.

 

[jeffvmd]

Finally it's in.
Looking good with the reef lamp kit.
How do you like the light spread?

 

[JeremyXXX]

It's great and I'm really loving the shimmer affect it creates.
Gonna pick up a couple frags tomorrow to start it off

 

[highboost91]

**** my life just set up a 55 a week ago and now im doing a 90 ughh lol tank looks legit dude

 

[rideit6578]

Is that right next to the bed? I loved having mine at the foot of my bed but the girlfriend hated it because all I did was look at it.

 

[JeremyXXX]

yup so when I lay in my bed I can just watch it it's sick at night and it doesn't even have corals yet.

 

[jeffvmd]

That's why my wife doesn't want a tank in the bedroom.
rideit6578, you should be looking at her instead of the tank. Lol

 

[JeremyXXX]

damn bulb started flicking and now it's on and off so I have to call BoostLED.com tomorrow and see where we go from here...

Thankfully I haven't added any corals yet.

 

[JeremyXXX]

I'm having trouble getting in contact with BoostLED...I have e-mailed and called them and have gotten no responce.

EDIT: I am very happy with the customer service from BoostLED they will be sending me a new bulb and a pre-paid shipping label to send in my broken one. It sucks I have to wait another week to start putting corals in my tank but it's probably for the best...more time to cycle.

 

[JeremyXXX]

So I got my replacement bulb from BoostLED.com the other day and today I went to get my first corals for the tank. Got a nice torch from Pets Warehouse on Sunrise Highway and a feather duster from Tropical Island Aquarium in Deer Park. I also picked up a pair of clowns from a fellow MR Reef Reaper...thanks again Phil!

Feather duster keeps poking in and out of its tube never out for more than 5-10 minutes it seems...something to worry about? I currently have it on the top end of a rock if it continues to be a problem I'll move it down to the sand bed since that's where most people seem to put em.

I'll take some pictures once the torch comes out fully...check back tomorrow!
