Hi all,
I've recently setup a 60g tank with 30kg of live rock. I've built my own lighting setup using 4 39W T5 tubes (2 white and 2 blue) and dimmable ballasts. I've got the dimmers controlled by PC and have based the times on the latitude/longitude of part of the Great Barrier Reef. Now I'm trying to work out a suitable schedule for lighting and come up with this: 3% (new moon) to 7% (full moon) - blue (based on moon rise/set times) ---- twilight begins ---- rise from 0% or moonlight whichever greater to 20% - blue rise from 0% to 20% - white -------- sunrise -------- rise from 20% to 80% - blue/white --- sunrise + 15 mins --- rise from 80% to 100% - blue/white -- sun at highest point -- fall from 100% to 80% - blue/white ---- sunset - 15 mins --- fall from 80% to 20% - blue/white -------- sunset --------- fall from 20% to 0% or moonlight whichever greater - blue fall from 20% to 0% - day ----- twilight ends ----- 3% (new moon) to 7% (full moon) - blue (based on moon rise/set times) Is anyone do anything similar and have any suggestions? Now for the fish stocking question. I've pretty much decided on the following stock added in the following order: Catalina Goby Royal Gramma Yellow Tailed Damsel Pair of Percula Clown This equals around 10" when the fishes are fully grown. I may possibly a Flame Angel if water parameters allow it. Can anyone see any problems from this combination? Many thanks, Chris |
