That would be cool. I like how you have your tanks set-up, great job.

Cozer,
Very nice set up. I see that even though you are far away, you still use the same kinds of techniques we use. Love how you tied everything in together. I see you have 3 separate pumps returning water, do you have any temp issues?
I will never make it to Taiwan, so the pictures are the next best thing.

Thanks, Kristin

 Well, I think there should be temp issues in my set up, but seems insignificant. I think it could be due to the very less heat transfered to the water with the use of LED light. Six months ago, I still used a 2 X 150W MH + 2 X 39W T5 actinics lighting fixtures for this 50g tank. A significant temp problem was observed b/c the chiller started frequently. It really consumed lots of energy and of course the money too! Fortunately, now I have very little temp problems with the LED. LOL!

The historical record of the tank from Jan. 2008 to Mar. 2009
One might see the growth of the corals and how they change in color under different lighting!

side by side the LED\'s look like they have more blue, looks good!

[tanks2u]

you are one dedicated reefer!  that\'s cool how you have monthly pics and were able to put them together so we can see the progress. I\'m becoming a true believer in the LED lighting.

[eastonreef]

stunning pics.... just love them!!

[cozer]

I got several PM and mails asking about the growth of my corals under LED light. SInce I don\'t have series pics for certain corals during the keeping time,
I decide to record their growth every 15 days! Anyone has any idea of the corals you are interested in for seeing their growth? I will put your ideas in my record list!

Share the GIF animation of my corals waving under the MP20~~

Like a green hairy monster! LOL
