love the anthias, I used to have a school of 5 at one time. beautiful fish!
3 weeks is a long time to rely on someone for sitting the tank, hopefully you'll find the right person.
Incredible build thus far! I will be following along!
Uh both!Thank you!
Tacoma or Tundra?
Uh both!
Have a 2008 Double Cab Tacoma I bought new in October of 2007. It has 173k miles on it now. As the family grew, it got really tight in the back seat with 3 car seats and my towing needs also changed. So, in May of 2022, we picked up a Certified 2021 Tundra Platinum, which fits the kids way better and the thing tows like a beast! Can't convince myself or my wife to let the Tacoma go, so I daily it to work, and the plan is to keep it and let my oldest kill it when he starts driving in 5 years. By then it will probably have 225k miles on it and will make the perfect first vehicle for.him!
We considered the new gen Tundra. A twin Turbo would have been fun to tinker with. But we bought at probably the worst time in history to buy a vehicle due to the inventory shortages caused by the pandemic. When I hit up my local dealership, the truck I would have ordered was 18 months out....didn't want to wait that long, and the 5.7's are bullet proof (even though their gas mileage leaves something to be desired). So, we went that route instead because it was sitting on the lot and I needed something to tow my travel trailer.2016 Tacoma TRD Sport for me!
MAN the new Tundras are FIRE tho
Have a link? I need something to test my PAR on my new build. Was going to "buy" one from BRS and return it afterward for their $100 fee, but for another 85 and to own it forever, I'm in!Trying this out today. Thanks to @telegraham for turning me on to this MUCH less expensive alternative to the almost $600 Apogee. They’re only $185 on Amazon!

First link is broken, but I assume this is it?
It's not a perfect alternative, but it's "good enough" if you consider the differences between it and the Apogee (you need to multiply your readings by 1.17 to get the same readings you'd get with the Apogee). And I'm told the telescoping pole sucks lol
Check out Telegraham's posts about it here:
He has other posts about it in his IG as well.
@telegraham they should pay you for all the sales you've probably generated! But then you'd have to disclose that

Thanks! How did you fix yours? Apparently we can't link directly to Amazon on here?Your link is also broken lol
But I fixed mine

Very nice! You are hardly even using the Blades!!! From what I have heard/read, they are capable of pumping out some crazy PAR! If I need more light on my setup eventually, I will have to decide between a pair or 21" Blades or an AL Coral Cover (half the price of 2 Blades) to supplement my A360X.This is what I got after "correcting" the VBR PAR numbers to show what the Apogee would read:
And my light settings...
AI Prime x2:
Blade Grow 48" x2:
Lots of room for higher PAR if I want to dive into more SPS
