More pics……

Ok I got my lighting. It’s a 4×54w T5 system. 2 10000k sun lamps, 2 460 nm Actinics, and 4 White Lunar Lamps. I have it set on a timer so the Actinics come on an hour before the sun lamps and then stay on for an hour after the sun lamps go off. That creates a dusk/dawn kinda of thing. Those stay on for a total of 12 hours a day and then the other 12 hours the Lunar Lights are on. Here are some pics……

Here is the Full Sun shot……

Then this is just the Actinics (Dusk/Dawn)

The the Lunar Lights…….

Lunar.....

The light level is so low on the Lunars you have to hold the camera perfectly still….. Not possible for me :(
We are probably gonn have to get a better camera to take pics of the reef. I was looking in there today and there are critters crawling around…… Copepods and Some worms of some sort…….. So things are starting to get right so that I can add some other critters. I plan on adding some Hermit Crabs, Snails, and maybe some Shrimp this weekend. :)
