Another 50g Cube build/resurrection....

Not much to report, running the t5 hybrid setup, need to check par numbers but In loving it overall. N&P definitely bottomed out so I may need to start dosing phosphates. I am planning to use either all for reef or switch to a salt with a higher dkh.

Just got in my 1st low buck order from aqua SD to try out some sps....

They made a believer out of me. Beautifully packed, not freezing, I'm more than ecstatic. Got from San Diego to the Long Beach area quick (as it should).

Hope they hold up! Thanks @TeamAquaSD !

Figured out real quick, I need MOAR light... Haven't even checked par, but it's gonna be a issue with trying sps. I went with a 4 bulb aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture, need to decide on bulb choices.

Also added one of two mp40's as one will be mailed off for repair of the wetside tomorrow.

I just started the same tank, with a 4 bulb ATI and went with 2 Blue + and 2 Coral +. Also plan on two Quanta Pro bars.

I went with reefbrite bulbs as usual, two 50/50 (coral plus), one actinic and one blue plus. Also running an smat farm led fixture for ramping and some shimmer.
