let me check my sump, I may have a small piece of purple lol.
good to hear on the bird. :)
big upgrades coming to my tank very soon!!!
modifying my phoban reactor at the recommendation of Mr Sprung himself, I will be setting up an carbon reactor and will be carbon dosing very gently through out the day.
Upgraded ozone reactor attached to skimmer to run only at wee hours in the night.
koralin calcium reactor will be set up and connected to my apex as soon as I refill 5 pound tank of Co2 on my off day.
I will be doing some wire management shortly and hopefully make my tank little less flammable lol

I'm SO bad. I had fish plans this weekend, but Real Life got in the way during the days, and I didn't even have time to test my numbers. I should have done it tonight, but Real Wine got in the way instead.
At least I got the aluminum stock cut for the LEDs. That's all I did for fish stuff.

Upgrading my LEDs. I love diys but I missed the aesthetically beautiful fixtures.
Will be keeping my royal blues, extreme royal blues bridgelux as actinic and will be implementing 2 rapid leds onyx with 60 degree lens on those suckers.

Okay.I uess it's my turn with the insomnia attack!
If my memory serves me correct I believe you had an issue with a Tang and possible HLLE? I recommended removing the carbon. If you indeed did this how is the Tang now?
On another note: I am still waiting for that purple monti frag!! :)
I am going to try and frag some of the jedi mind trick Friday. I noticed it "Dripping" from the underneath the rock the other night. Might be able to break some of it off for the wife too.
I thought Spanko might like some as his tank is already amazing looking and that encrusting mind trick would really pop with his lights.
more than likely he won't want it but the wife bought it up..........
okay......... babbling now, gotta try to catch some ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Its a new frag, and a mean ol snail had knocked it onto the sandbed. There's a little tissue loss. My montis tend to be a little slow growing, but the ones I've had in the tank for a while are finally starting to take off. I've had a purple once before but lost it to light shock, so I'm trying this one lower down.

Par will be measured after inserting strips of royal blues to control seperately.
But according to rapids, it will be from 600 and down.
Dimmer is coming soon it comes with white, blues, uv violets, green and reds. Ask rick, he will tell you the spectrums look fantastic lol. I think I actually tempted him on getting a new fixtures lol.
