How Was Alice Cooler?
Man I came here to share this Paul! We just got home not too long ago. I dont know if Alice Cooper or my 9 year old was the biggest hit lol. He was the only kid I saw there lol. He made a ton of friends.

You're fluent! At least it's not cringe and you're not a sigma boy! I have no fn idea what any of that means :)
 
I have had this Hellfire torch since setting up the tank in December. It came out of a friends tank that was running metal halide. Over the course of 8 months it was slowly losing color. I moved it a month ago to a spot directly under one of my Kessils....PAR is around 350. It is back to its original slender!

Youre challenging the norm with your lighting and flow parameters Rock. I love it man. This is useful information for the community. I've learned a lot from you on this subject.
 
Posted new picture of Coral and RFA's on both build threads for anyone interested. I watched a YouTube video the other day on how to get better pictures. These were taken just with my phone without the color lens which I had no idea was possible. If your phone has a pro setting all you have to do is set the WB setting to 10000k.
Amanda youre killing it right now. You're on fire with your tank journey, and I love it. You're always so nice and encouraging when others post pictures and now it's your turn. We're all very proud for you. You deserve this, and Im really enjoying this stage in your journey, dear.
 
Now now now. I shared this little bit of information multiple times. Nobody ever listens to me though. Al they heard was Kevin telling about his wonderful lens kits...
Im sorry you were treated that way brother but in fairness, have you seen Kevin's pics?

Nice response to AFI! And that song was from a concept album that didnt even sound like them. These guys sound like a less sad, My Chemical Romance. Good one.
 
Love some old school AFI. Just winding down some late night work, Rock on!


This one is chill i promise.

Certified Jam! A7F performed down here so many times. It's a staple of my younger life.
