long polyps when I got it. Then it did the Goni I’m gonna withdraw and pout and now it’s starting to slowly open up again. Ironically it’s kept adding new polyps even when in lockdown mode.
 
Not as much as the homeless guy with Homer! I did most of it, pits and face and the Mrs washed my hair. Oh she brought my razor so my face is as smooth as a baby’s bottom! Got fresh deodorant on as well. I almost feel and smell like a person again.
 
I love the Orcas. I have them set to different flow in certain zones. Example, on the right hand column are my SPS. The Orca on that side ramps up to 50% in a sector that blasts the SPS, then ramps down as it moves past so as to not destroy euphyllia and softies on the back side.
As far as the Meridian. I like it but feel it lacks a lot of spectrum. I will probably go to halides with two Quanta Helix Meso blues bars. The spectrum on the Meso blues is SO good in the UV through Cyan range, much better than ReefBreeders.
Hey there Rocky !
 
Rachel from East Pacific aquaculture just called to see how my order came in and how my I liked my acan. I thought that was pretty cool, I haven’t had a vendor do that.
She probably gave you one that she picked up out for herself . Or she just wanted to see how your doing because she’s read the post and saw that you were laid up in the hospital ! 🤗
