You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Here’s my hammer, the front left one is the head I think is going to split into more than 2 heads.

Nice!!
Here’s my before and after. I kind of miss the early days of the frog when I could see the heads and watch them split. Now its a big ball of tentacles and I can only see the individual heads at night.

If we're being fair, I've also got hammers that were 2-3 heads last year and are in double digits under the RLed90's. They will grow some serious coral and color is great. I think they are overpriced for a spot point lense. I believe they need to be run with supplemental strip lighting or LED because of the shading.

Wow!! Well I'm certainly sticking to the primes then.

I don't know if I made it clear but my current set up is two AI primes with a of Blade behind.

yes and good combo

Pretty good! Not a fan of AI (though I’m being a hypocrite cuz I’m using one ) but ever since I’ve seen the reviews and seeing Reef Dudes try it out and him liking it, I may consider. Still want either RedSea or Radions though,

Don't know anything about red sea lights, but I couldn't be happier after switching to kessils from radion.
Kessil 360 left, xr15 blue right

To my eye the kessil is crisper and has nice shimmer. Not sure if any of that shows up in the picture though. If I were to go radion, I'd go with pros over blue's as I prefer a little more daylight than blue.

Only heard great things about the Kessils. Best shimmer and a great spread despite the point source light.

Many many photos under the new lights.
Just noticed the blue pavona and the favia have already left their frags.
Also I think I'm coming up with a plan for the GSP as the hammer has started attacking it. I think I'm going to trim it and see how those trims do with the butterfly and angel in the other tank. If they survive I'll move the whole colony. If not then sell.

Never did I think I would I see the day where I heard a Hammer (first attacker) would be the attacker of a GSP colony! Wow

Attacking and defeating are two very different things. I more want to move it as I don't want the hammer to waste energy on the GSP.
Here's a good analogy haha.

Yea lol I realized that I edited the post.

Nice analogy

Well Youtube quality reduction has once again failed me. If you can I suggest watching the file instead. It is worth it IMO.

Day one and I'm a fan. Controller was easy enough to set up. Lights can be string together and run on one channel. It's 4 plugs for the lighting though, that's a downside.
