FTS: Ray's Reef- 57G Oceanic Rimless

Hi All,

This setup is about a month old with everything new including *100% Dry eco rocks*. Just thought I'd share a FTS I just took...Not the best pic hope its clear enough. Its a 57G Oceanic Rimless measuring 36" x 18" x 21" and I'm running LumenAqua full 36" RGB LEDs with a 2 Bulb T5 for extra par boost. Lighting was set at 22k rating:

Nice looking tank!

Beautiful tank and collection of corals:drool2:. And only one month old!

I love the setup (and the corals)
beautiful!!!

Very very nice. You should post the details and more pics in the member's tank area.

Looks nice, how do you feel at 22K, isn't that pretty blue??

Thanks guys for the compliments, the sps/acros in the middle rock work are still frag size, so hopefully it will grow out more in the next 2-3 months.

In person I really like the look...Still able to see all the colors *Similiar to Radiums* MH. The LEDs also gives a very nice shimmer effect. Unfortunately my camera isn't the best and show more blue than what I see in person. Also its nice that the LED have adjust K rating...from 3k to Bright Moonlights...Here are some pics of the different options the fixture provides:

Personally I find this batch of pictures much nicer, they look more like you would see the corals in their natural state. Just a matter of personal preference.

But either way the tank rocks!!

Ray is that a Blasto in the last picture? That is one morph I haven't seen, and would be an amazing addition to my ever growing collection!!

Love that Baby Breath Favia as well!

very nice tank Ray..i like blastos also..that a favia..I have an Oceanic hex tank..the water always looks crystal clear..
