No air pump.

Take a look at it an hour after your lights go off.

I ran the 4 bulb over a frag setup years ago, awesome lights.

Trying to resist, must not add to hoard.

Located in Albany, open to trades.

Basically, there is no correct answer. I could put a Chinese black box of green leds above your tank and increase your perceived PAR to 2000(the meter is dumb and will read 532nm green as PAR), but this would do zero for plants or corals and look ugly as hell. PUR is phontsynthetically useable radiation, there’s no PUR meter, because it’s different for everything. My point is you can not use a PAR meter to dictate your lighting choices. “My corals aren’t doing good, PAR meter says I need moar PAR.” Not a good way of doing things. Water quality/stability in my opinion is a much more worthwhile obsession. Take a look at guys tanks online that are obsessed about lighting, that should tell you a bit about how important reef lighting is.

Turning your whites up isn’t going much for you. There is a huge difference in PAR and PUR, especially in a reef tank. I mostly use my PAR meter to match lighting levels from moving a coral from one tank to another, or if I swap out lightning over a tank, honestly that’s about all it’s good for.

Now I just want to set it and forget it.

I have green, the super common red one, and an orange one that I think was named “sunset” if I remember right.

Looking like it’s gonna be easier to bust the stuff that I like off the rock that it’s on. FML

I forgot what this is called, but it’s good at sending out galaxea-esque sweepers and zapping it’s neighbors. Probably going to bust this up and kalkpaste it, if anyone is interested in the pieces that break off, give me a holler.

I’m in Albany

I got a TIA1150 if you’re interested.

Picked up a new puppy yesterday, she’s a fox red lab, 8 weeks old.

Your raw tap water is 24ppm? I’m wondering how necessary it is to run RO/DI on 24ppm water. Way back when we used to run terrible tap water ~400ppm with just dechlor to mix with salt. Not ideal, but it worked.

I’m thinking we post the first pic and the last pic with a ruler, and make a poll and everyone votes. It’s probably going to be real obvious who had the best growth.

Do I remember right? 6 month long contest, judged by increase in length?

Haha, many years ago I hosted an art show that involved pizza snacks and everclear Jell-O shots, that was a memorable occasion.

Whoa, Jell-O shots
