The Sleeping Giant 75 gallon build

[James_O]

I saw an evaluation of them on another forum that stated they're nearly identical in spectrum and light intensity to the Radion XR30 Pro Gen 4. If true that's insanely impressive for a light that is as cheap as the Noopsyches are.

Just from the reviews I’ve read, and what I’ve watched online, they also seem to be a high quality light. Not the light you would except for it being that inexpensive!!

I don't know how Radions are, but these are way better than the Fluval Marine 3.0 I had. Didn't know what I was missing.

Fluval lights are designed for FOWLR from everything I’ve read online. (Or just strong enough to grow softies/macro algae)

So this is a huge upgrade for you.

How long have you had that giant toadstool? (Or is it a leather?)

I have it set on the preset SPS/LPS setting. The controller is fairly easy, it's very important to read the instructions.

Ive had the toadstool for over a year. It was a local reefers. It hasn't been doing to good lately, I'm thinking I will have to frag it to save it.

Could really use the help from the reefing community for my niece. She lives in Grenada and needs your help.

Chika is 6 years old and was recently diagnosed with a rare eye disease known as coats disease by Dr Yesmin Zurita in Grenada. Coats disease is a very rare condition found in children in which there is abnormal developement in the blood vessels behind the retina of the eye. The blood filled retinal dilates and leaks fluids and fats which builds up in and under the retina. This leakage then causes the retina to swell, leading to partial or complete detachment of the retina resulting in very poor or complete loss of vision in affected eye. Coats disease progresses overtime and if not treated until it latest stage, can lead to an enucleation ( removal of the affected eye ) if neccessary. Fortunately Chika's stage of the disease can be treated with surgery, but not in Grenada. She was referred to Dr. Sherwin Benskin ( retinal surgeon ) in Barbados by Dr. Zurita seen that there is no one in Grenada available to conduct such a surgery. Unfortunately for chika and her mom, they now have to come up with money for not only the surgery and other hospital expenses, but also for flight and accomodation for 4-6 weeks to cater for quarantine requirements, surgery and post-operative appointments. We would really appreciate if you can help contribute to these expenses, which is very much out of our reach. We would gladly appreciate any help at this time.Thank you in advance. ❤❤

Hi everyone, this weekend is going to be cyano Rx treatment once again. It works great and what is coming back is less than before. I usually leave it in the tank for 3 days depending on how everything is looking during the process.
I don't keep my skimmer going because it's a HOB Aquamaxx. It just runs foam like a mad man the day of water change, so I make sure to have top up water available.
I'm also going to change out my mechanical media from my canister before doing the water change.
I will be adding a 450 ml bag of each clear fx and reef fx. I find they work great.
I know seeing cyano tanks are not great, but it's part of the fun and process of learning.

My Noopsyche @noopsyche K7 V3 Reef lights are doing great. I can already see lots of growth in my hammerhead and Frogspawn coral. My zoas are starting to grow more heads too.

My BTA is very deflated, it's not expelling anything but the tenticals are almost non-existent, I'll figure out something with it soon. Fingers crossed.

My cat really likes my new @noopsyche Noopsyche K7 V3 lights.
I think I have to build a wall or hood.

The cat definitely causes some shadowing.
I bought some of the those lights for my tank that I'm excited to get.

My BTA is splitting, the clowns are all over the place, lol my tuxedo urchin found some GSP to wear around, along with a tiny mushroom.
I love these 2 fish, they are always so fun to watch.
