What 9 MONTHS of Progress looks like in a 5-year reefer's 3-gallon PICO REEF*

Why the *?

Because halfway through my pico reef journey, I had to move from California to New York, and took my system with me.
I took it as an opportunity to buy a Lifegard 3.8 peninsula, and shipped my live rock, with all the coral on it. It didn't all survive the journey, sadly.

But now the tank is back on track, and so far, it's looking great!

Running an AI Prime 16 HD, got it secondhand in LA. 10am-10pm schedule.
By 11am, lights ramp to 30% UV & V, 23% RY & B, 20% CW.
CW dips to 10% by 8pm, then 0% by 9pm, then all LEDs ramp down to 0 by 10pm.

And thanks! Had it for about a couple years, best car ever! (Still want to get a 2014 one day!)
