Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Alright. I just send an email to RedSea support to see if they can teach me how to adjust my brightness and not my color. What if I were to mix my lightning with the kessil?
It's extra light. Softies don't usually need a ton, but they prefer white usually.

If you want to add some SPS or LPS, the Kessil will add PAR.

Keep in mind, blue light is brighter than it looks - it's a harder spectrum for us to see.

Alright I might just do that on my right side. We will see.
 
Here's how I adjust mine:

Bring the white up to where I want it, add blue until the colors really start to pop on my corals.

I usually run whites around 25-50% depending on the light.

So I got a call from my mother, she was putting something in her car when the garage door shut, it’s a detached garage. She was stuck inside and said she was freezing. I go over and and call her from inside her condo to see where the remote control was. She’s telling me, I can’t find it, she insists it is there . I ask for the code so I can open it at the garage. We get in and I ask her to show me where it was. She couldn’t find it and then pulled it out of her coat pocket that she was wearing. Anyone else have one of those days?

I am, more frequently than I care to admit, one of those days.

Whoever asked for photos.. don't have to many. I'm in black.
You look like a first round draft pick. You got him stood up Cam!!
 
I don't understand because it used to grow like crazy.. I hope it's not the REEFLEDs I do not wanna have to rebuy new lights..
I doubt it.
Are they at full percentage or do you have room to bump them up or down at all?
 
Do

You have a point intensity or schedule strength setting?

All the time Kevin. Im just glad she's ok and you can give her a big hug. The time frame between the call and when you got to her was probably excruciating.
 
I'll do this. What lighting do you run currently.
I run Noopsyche K7 V3. I have the newer version but they're on my freshwater. I have a single Orphek OR4 bar as supplemental but I run everything at less than 85% max at peak.
