Absolutely gorgeous.

I can't imagine why you ever felt shy about posting this reef! I particularly loved the multi-storied look of the acros and zoas with soft-coral polyps growing in profusion below them, and that magnificent colony of Leptoseris!

What are your razor settings out of curiosity? I have the jbj 45 with a 180 watt and 2 supplemental t5s.

Sounds like my exact light set up. For my 2 t5 retrofit lights I use ATI Blue Plus bulbs. I have slowly over the past few months increased to 80% power. These are dimmable units so I run them about an hour after the razor comes on and ramp up for two hours then run 5 hours at 80% then ramp down for 1 hour

Razor: I ramp up blues to 100% for the first 2.5 hours then start to ramp up White to max 65% / keep blues at 100% for about 4.5 hrs then ramp down same in reverse.

I can look to see my exact settings and times when I get home.

Lights cycle starts at 11am and turn off at 9:30pm. I also added lunar leds through my apex but I do not use them very much.
