I have had my 100 gallon 6' tank running for several months now. I am running 3 of the 165 Watt Chinese LED lights on the system. The lights were purchased under the name of Wellspar on Ebay. They are the ones with the built in timer. Two channels. White, red, and green and actinic on the second channel.
I have added several soft corals to the system. Including, assortment of zooanthids, green toadstool, GSP, green polyps, a green torch (arriving tomorrow), and a mushroom frag from a friend).
Fish include, sailfin tang, yellow tang, royal gramma, two ocellaris clown fish, one sand sifting sea star, 50 snails (turbo, nerite, etc) and 10 small.blue leg hermit crabs. Also, one rock anomene (I think). The nem was purchased at LFS and was told it was a long tentacle, which it isn't.
As I stated the tank is 72" X 18 x 18. It's called a 100 long and not very common. Please, no tang police. I am aware of the sailfin but keep in mind this is a 6' tank and IMO better for tangs than the common 4' 125 gallon.
Sump has fug with and deep sand bed, some live rock and chaeto Macro inside. Pods arriving tomorrow.
Back to the the lights. What I'm running right now.
3 165 watt lights hanging from ceiling 11" from water.
Whites and actinic from 6AM-2PM. Actinic on 40% and whites at 20%. 2PM to midnight actinic only. Then lights out until 6AM.
Im new to corals so I don't really know what's optional based on the corals reactions. Everything seems to be opening and extending.
Anyone out there running these lights? If so, what is the schedule and intensity are u running the lights?
