cbort Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Awesome tank you got going here. That's a lot of frags! Must have been fun doing those 2 shops! Following along for all the sexy winning going on. Can't wait to see some pics of all the new stuff. Thanks cchsoracle! Still trying to figure out how to take pics with LEDs! Link to comment

cbort Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 A quick update of the AI Prime: Pros: I am really enjoying this light, and most importantly, the corals have done great reacting to the light also. The few SPS in the tank now are a Pink Stylo and a Green Porcillapora. Both are looking great and keeping nice color. The LPS that are in the tank range from a couple goniporas to a couple plate corals, a few chalices, a meteor shower, monti and a favia. They are all absolutely loving the light they are all fully inflated and show great color. Finally, which to me is the most important are my zoanthids. I have always been a believer in halide/T5 for zoanthids for best growth and coloration. But the zoathids really seem to like the AI Prime's spectrum. So far the growth has been great, and the zoanthids are always open. The zoathids all look happy. There aren't any "reaching" for the light, and lot's of babies are steadily popping out. Also, the app is great! I love how simple and responisive the app is. I have yet to have any issues using the app. No crashes, no weird unexplained issues, it just simply works as it should. Finally, for everyone with a rimless aquarium, nothing is better than a light with a tiny foot print. Its never in the way, looks super clean and simple, and give you lots of room to be able to see top down in your aquarium. And even with the tiny foot print, it puts out a ton of light! Cons: I tried hard to think of some things that i don't like about the light, but the light just works perfectly for my setup. My Elos is just the perfect size for this light. The only thing I might complain about, which would be simple for them to add to the App is: In the Control portion of the app, I wish they would give you an option to use Auto/Manual/Preset. Auto works great for everyday use, manual works great to play around and see what all the spectrums look like, but I'd like to be able to have a few saved presets that i could simply click on and have the light go to those settings. Right now, you have to click on Manual and change every color spectrum to where you want it. Any questions about the light, let me know! Link to comment

cbort Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Stunning tank, following! How do you find the Nikon? I'm looking to buy my 1st DSLR, getting confused! I like the Nikon a lot, like many cameras I think it all comes down to the lenses. I need to upgrade mine!I am in no way a camera expert. I just wanted a camera that was easy to use. It's operation is fairly simple for a beginner, but has lots of features for the people who know how to use them. If that makes sense? Lol Thanks for the compliments on the tank! Link to comment
