mattv Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thought I would start posting some pics showing the growth rates on two of my sps under the DIY led system. I will try and post every two weeks with new pics so we all can see what happens. If you know what the ID on these two is please chime in. (1) week 2 (2) week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattv Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ok we will call them small colonies. I have been gone for the last week and when I got home they have grown some. Hard to tell when you look at them everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akambience Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I had the great privilege and pleasure to see this tank and the LEDs in person. One word: wowz. I'm totally sold. I guess I'll be starting an LED build thread soon. Thanks again Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dog Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Matt, why don't u try the strawberry lemonade under your LED's? Maybe they will help the color come back. Just an idea, but not necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
