Salty's 125

[Salty Cracker]

I only run whites from ~10am-3pm I think, not too long.  UV's come on around 2pm, RB's run from 10am-9:30pm

So 5hrs out of 10.5... and ehat are they? COol or Neutral?

Cool isn't salty cracker, nor is neutral as he comes across a bit touchy touchy. I think he's running ghay whites.

COOL whites.  I don't like the yellow of the neutrals at all, and the ghey whites put out a weird rainbow colour.

Recently had the pleasure of seeing Salty's system and got a few shots, photos don't do it justice, pretty amazing the results he is getting with SPS and all LEDs.

Amazing photos!  Everything looks incredible.

One thing I will say about the all LEDs is that it is tricky to get a balanced photo, and still you get some spots that are washed out even with a uniform exposure.

Great looking tank glen!!!
It is really growing in nicely!!
Youve definitely made your mark on the reefing community here in sw ontario. One of the few to grow aquacultured sps under only led lighting and the organizer of the first london fragfest.....really the first actual fragfest id ever heard of in ontario....
Glen has really helped this hobby grow here.... thanks bud!

I think  it's actually jroovers that's making us all look good.  I keep looking at his photos and going "is that my tank?"

What it does show me is that there's still lots of room for things to fill in.  Not for adding more, but for things to fill in.  there's maybe 5 or 6 really spectacular pieces I want to see take off. Like that matrix.  Notice it is fairly pale, but looks healthy.  I would like to see that thing be a massive colony someday (looking forward to the red coming out). 

Thanks to Jroovers for coming by and doing up the photos, I said to my wife after he left "oh man, you know you've arrived when he shows up to take pics of your tank".  Even her "you're a geek" didn't deflate me that day. I can finally see things I had no idea were there with my old eyes.  "hey there are polyps on my sps" I was thinking as I looked at them

totally, you need to bust out the pringles lid and use it to get your white balance.
