My name is Bud I have had my current tank for a little over a year it is a 150 gallon I just bought and installed my new lights today they are the Hydra 52s they look really awsome I have them set at 50 percent to acclimate them. I figured I better find some people to help me I have never done any corralls or reefs so Thanks now for any help I might need in the near future
Welcome. Hydra 52s are great. I've been running them for a few months and I have my set at Grean,red,white at 35% and the rest at 55% and they are about 8 inches above the water. Be careful, 52s are strong and will burn coral fast.
Welcome Bud! We have a nice group of reefers in Central Iowa and the whole state. You should definitely plan to try to attend Spring Fest in Cedar Falls - only a month away. Nice vendors and hobbyists, good speakers, a chance to meet other reefers and club members, and a great raffle. You should also consider joining GIRS - the Greater Iowa Reef Society. A great group of people. The Des Moines region of the club is planning on a February meeting towards the end of the month.
welcome to the society bud! looking forward to seeing some pictures of what you have going on in your setup! and thanks for posting.
