Reefkid88 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I mean Semi's and Luxeon driven at 700mah,would probably blow the LB out of your water even with no optics lol. I'm excited to see how everything turns out though. 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Lights installed and it's exactly what I wanted. Brighter, bluer, pop, and shimmer. While also maintaining a low profile and matching ati aesthetic. It's perfect for what I needed and they where cheap at 50% off. 3 Quote Link to comment

Elizabeth94 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Gotta put that donut coral on a diet. What do you use to clean your back wall? Iv been using a razorblade meant to clean glass stovetops. But I can’t reach behind my rock arms too big. Used a long handle blade which stunk. Your glass is so clean. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

But back wall stays clean from cuc and the naughty tiny starfish. So far the asternias stars only eat debri and algae but they've been mad depleted from the shrimp. Overall I don't get much algae build. Much less now that I'm using t5s too! 4 Quote Link to comment

That's definitely a prize piece! I just love meaty Corals. My next upgrade I was thinking sca50 but maybe something shallower as I like the meat Corals all over... 🤔 I could just completely cover the sca50 sandbed corner to corner 👀 1 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Maybe a nice Waterbox frag 105....? Haha. Btw there is a giveaway for one on waterbox’s site, throw in an entry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

A maricultured colony? If so, watch it closely for the next few weeks, as they tend to be more finicky in the beginning. 2 Quote Link to comment

If so, watch it closely for the next few weeks, as they tend to be more finicky in the beginning. Bought at lfs for like $50 (was $75) under shitty halides so bad coloring. Right now it has crazy awesome polyp extension and is looking pretty good. Still waiting for it to color up more but that'll take a little time. No idea what culture it is honestly. Good chance it was a larger frag that grew in their tank for sometime. Reason being is there is a small little crab of some sort who made the center of the sticks his home but I think they grew and he got to big so maybe trapped..... 3 Quote Link to comment

Nice work on the LED addition, hybrid lighting setups like this give such nice color. Even soft light from T5's and shimmer from LED's, best of both worlds! 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes it really is starting to fill in! I agree. I probably won't upgrade until next year sometime. Thanks for the kind words! 2 Quote Link to comment
