These lights are completely 100% silent compared to the noisy fans and high pitched ring of my only MH unit.

I am going to sit there and watch the tank for an hour just to see the sunset feature on it.

give them two months if the fans are like the k3 units they will get loud....very very loud

and also your actinic blues will burn out at around the 3 - 4 month mark i need to replace mine already only had the light going since late jan this year and noticed around a month ago the blues were shot

The K4 don't have fans in the light units.

I will keep an eye on the LEDs. Hopefully I don't get anything burning out.

Thanks gals :bggrn:

Just made the ATO tank, leak test tomorrow before it goes in the stand. 35 x 35 x 55 = 60ltrs. It is going to be much easier to keep water topped off than continuous refilling of the 20ltr container every 10-14 days that I'm doing at the moment. This new tank will also run a kalkwasser stirrer so won't need to dose that so often either.

Here is a pic of some new corals. I'll get more and a FTS in the morning when everything looks its best.

Thanks are0, I am feeding the bangaiis up to see if I can get them to breed.

ATO tank installed. RODI water with added Magnesium.

Reservoir with float switch and pump hooked up to kalk stirrer.

Also noticed my cleaner shrimp is in berry. A bit hard to see in the pics but she just looks bigger with all the eggs under her tail.
