Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The sun hits it in the evening.
Lights come on a 0900. White lights kick on at 1000, so at this time it's probably 14k spectrum!
Love that spectrum! I need to do more research on figuring par with Kelvins. I love the spectrum settings on my my radion

Are you running the AB+ mode on your Radion?
I say 14K spectrum because I bought the Meridian 45 in the 14K model, meaning it has more whites than the regular Meridian. The two Edge bars are also 14K with a mix of 4:2 blue/white. I have the whites set to 10% less than the blues during peak hours, so it's a crisp white with blue hint. Reminds me a lot of when I ran Phoenix 14K and Radium halides.
 
Quick recap for the last 20 pages...good morning and good night...my job here is done!
Have a great day y'all.
Lots of "Good morning!"

A little bit of music

Some corals

Very little Joel - he's busier than he was

Im running a custom schedule that is extremely similar to AB+ with a bit more nuisance. On my new build ill be running a meridian 25 with edge bars eventually when I need them

I'd run PAR on whites only, then on blues only, then combined. Then you know all your numbers.
 
Good morning! Did you get a new boat? It's really nice, good choice on the color!
That was the first thing out of my mouth, it’s kinda bronze! Man, could run some serious drugs in it and it looks like it could outrun the government’s drones!
 
With Kelvins also?
Ahh... Well that's a more difficult thing to measure I guess.

There's got to be a formula for calculating/estimating Kelvin.
 
Good morning. Are you feeling any better?
A little, standing or sitting is more comfortable than laying down. I'm still waiting to hear about CT scans. I'm trying to make myself wait another hour or so before I start calling again
 
Good morning everyone!
Busy day for me today, airport, kids, work...
Be cool my friends!
Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, sounds like a productive day! ✌️
