I have the blues dialed up 100% and whites around 75%. To the naked eye, it looks about 12.5K
thats alot of white. Looks like a new system, since the rock is white as can be.
Its a new tank but established rock. In person, its not quite as white as it appears in pictures.
regardless its alot of white, you many see increased algae growth.
This is awesome because I’m in the process of setting up a 40B and I’m using the Orbit Marine LED’s. I ordered a second one hoping to up my par but now I’m wondering if that’s overkill. I don’t want to be limited to what corals to put in. I have a little bit of everything now in a very crowded Evo 13.I set up a little budget side project for softies. I bought a 36" Orbit Marine IC LOOP LED (Model 4106). Although it has virtually no spread, for the price tag not too bad for what I have intended. This is over a 40g breeder (36"x 18"x 17"). The unit sits about 2-3" off the water surface. My water is overrun with microbubbles at the moment due to the HOB skimmer.
That's the skimmer I'm using. Got it during the 50% off at BRS. It's actually pulling skimmate right out of the box. Unfortunately, its a microbubble factory as well.
I’ve heard a lot of people mention micro bubbles but apparently it’s supposed to get better after a while. One more question - did you have to kind of force it over the rim of you tank?
I have it on an Aqueon 40 breeder. No issues getting over the rim. Crossing my fingers on the bubbles though.
