3-6 months should give me enough time to figure out how to send it to you . I have a ton of good starter sps as well once you’re ready

Thank you so much.
When the time gets a little close I would love to bounce some ideas off you and get ideas for some good starter sps.

If you use iphone for the AI app, you can click the file send icon in upper right corner. Then copy and paste it into an email or text. They show up as an AI Preset.aip file.
But I don't think they can be uploaded on here, it would need to be emailed or texted.

Here is a screen shot of my current schedule. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks bud but I was just joking. I tried to add the laugh emoji but obviously screwed that up.
Saxby man huh. It’s a popular one. Mine has less white and more blue but still has the respiration peaks and valleys. I designed to have less spectrum shifts than the saxby actually.

This is for my 52s but I have one for my 26 HD’s as well

So your schedule is constantly shifting from heavy “white’r” spectrum to heavy “blue’r” spectrum??

lol, i should have known better

I have never understood why some people run higher UV and others lower. Why did you choose higher UV, violet and royal blue and lower blue?
I really do not like the look of too much blues so I may switch mine to something similar to yours.

I’m no lighting guru but I based my schedule (UV,V,RB,B mostly) from brs videos ab+ recommendations and then adjusted the white to what my eyes like.

I also have a par meter if you want to get some “about right” par numbers

Nice looking tank! How do you like that sump I have a 60 cube that is plumbed into a much bigger established tank but in about a year I plan on making it a stand alone tank.

Nice tank! It will be Awesome to see those frags grow out!
I really like the sump. I did make some changes to it so I could have a large refugium section before the return pump. I just used acrylic sheet and silicon so it can be undone later.
Dang, taking this picture reminds me that I need to change some of that white PVC to blue. I had to pipe around where my protein skimmer goes. I took the skimmer out for now because I couldn’t keep phosphate and nitrate up without dosing it.

Why do you want to break the 60 off as a stand alone tank? Are you moving it to a different spot?
Seems like it would be so much easier to keep everything stable as one (like you have it) rather than multiple tanks to test and dose.

I’ll be upgrading to A 220 and probably be adding at least 100 lbs of new rock to my 100 lbs of old Fiji rock.Im not sure how the acros will like that change.Plus I’ll be going from a sand bottom tank to a bare bottom.This cube is my first attempt at bare bottom so that is still up in the air.I already have some rock in a trash can as we speak lol.

Your sump setup looks great! So much less convoluted than mine lol

Thanks! I worked hard on hiding the electric cords. I got the idea to use this stuff from someone on here but I can’t remember who it was that I copied.

Makes total sense. And it’s worth it to test 2 tanks for a while to keep the corals happy!

Looking great! Baby trochus snails can be a blessing and a curse. I haven't had too many problems with them, other than making their way into the sump and plugging the intake on my skimmer a few times!

Love the setup! I used to have a deep blue 60 cube. I loved that tank. And that decorator crab is super cool. I never tried one but i always thought they had one of the more interesting behaviors in the hobby.
