SBB Pop up Sale- 750 Corals!

[ReeferZ1227]

Awesome...so it's a solid 3-400 on the racks in water? That's a good spot to be in.

Yeah. I used a GHL wifi mini for a controller so ill have to do some real measurements tmrw throughout the photo period. Suprisingly simple for how complex I was worried it would be. Excited to see some results. Going to put a piece of valida in the sick tank as a canary.

BOOM

I did it. Go me.

No kidding. School uniforms, almost $500 in school fees for my 2 girls, tons of school supplies, music and swim lessons.

Yeah, but for some of us. Those school fees, help us buy pretty corals lol

With blues I'm about 800 at waterline and about 350ish about halfway down in the tank about 200 sandbed with no obstructions

Interested to see what it does with the new tank which is 5 inches taller. Albeit the front vipars are only at 76% blue in the front and 58% in the back so there's a little juice left if needed. Will be adding 4 helix bars also. Quanta is the jam on lighting. Cool he filled a new need with the atlas.

I haven't measured my PAR. One of these days I'll get around to doing that. I just blast em and see what happens lol

Is that what you typically run at or is that just max power testing

Typical. 1% Whites come on for about an hour and a half everyday whilst I'm gone so I never test it thoroughly..it adds and extra 25 par or so

 

[6t4nova]

Now I feel inspired to test my PAR

Here's what it just was at my racks...about the middle of the tank.

I typically only run white at 1-3% a few hours a day.

More was asking if you consistently run 800 at waterline which seems very high but I read again and you said 350-400 mid, 200 sand, and that seems more on the normal side for sps tank. Then I realized I have no idea what my waterline is. I’ve only tested mid level and sandbed

I also don’t have a packed sps reef

That's just where it hits the water...which is really kind of irrelevant..lol. just an interesting note.

lol I think you have a zoa problem
Here I was thinking you were sps guy at heart but the truth is revealed! You are a softie for zoanthids

what is that mountain on the left

Totally agree. Interesting also

Cute $6 Moonshine goni

Nice one!

 

[SaltySqueeble]

No vacations, school started though, and my daughter helped me spend some money this month

Need one of those

 

[6t4nova]

Need one of those

It's fun! I've been cruising in the back yard off and on this afternoon. Feel a lot more comfortable on it now, so daughter and I are going for a ride later. I got her a pint a few weeks ago

My display is about the same there, poor valida is getting roasted in 550 or more. Racks are all 250-350. Since most of the SPS ate the dirt in the frag tank i dont wanna cook the LPS, zoas, and few sticks still living, plus adjustment to the spectrum.

The coolest thing so far is the impact on shading. You can wave your arm across the tank and not see a shadow on the frag racks. Also bizzare being able to take a photo without an orange filter or pro-mode. I launched the canary:

It's a corner overflow..lol. I used to have tons of zoas. There was 150-200 strains at one point...got bored..tried acros.

Something always becomes dominant. Mixed zoa gardens eventually end up one strain

Looks good though clearly took a while to get that way
