Might post a quick video in a bit How long had you been using the K2-50 before the pump took a dump? My K2-50 pump is dying every 5-6 months.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Literally I got a replacement in September, and it died 2 weeks ago. Sorry to hear about your skimmer woes. Glad to be validated about my skimmer pump issues though. 2 Quote Link to comment

mbarton2010 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 So finally got around to mounting my Sunset Monti on the back glass. Used a pump magnet and super glue lol 5 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Very nice! I like the sunset monti on the back. Are you planning for it to encrust on the back wall? 1 Quote Link to comment

Are you planning for it to encrust on the back wall? Yeah that's the plan. It was taking up too much real estate in the middle of the tank and was encroaching on another sps colony. 1 Quote Link to comment

I cant get squat under LEDs with my phone I use the Camera Plus app and depending on the color of the coral, I have to tweak the temp, contrast, saturation differently to get the most life like colors. That’s why the corals look good but a lot of the white plugs and rock look wonky Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 And I usually mess with the Prime spectrum to test out different colors to see which photograph best. I recently(yesterday) changed to a new lighting schedule that uses more white and and has moon light all night. Gonna see how this works out for awhile Quote Link to comment

Thats partially why I post so many photos; I take the photo within imgur and can post it here super easily. xD 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ve been thinking about DIYing a Hybrid setup or just selling my Prime and getting a T5 Quote Link to comment

mbarton2010 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not too much to update. Just got a few pics of everything doing good. Did lose one piece of SPS a small deep water. Nothing else was showed signs of distress. My digita is becoming a nice mini colony. Gonna need to frag eventually 2 Quote Link to comment
