Do you think the halide just doesn’t show the colors as well as the LEDs, or do the colors physically change once you switch? (Currently running a 150w MH)

Simply a beautiful reef there Anthony. Well done. My assortment of stonies is similar to yours. I am just missing... oooo.. maybe 200 gallons of volume.

I also really like how you did your rock work. Do you have a picture of the aquascape in your build thread? Looks great for flow. I am struggling for flow now due to my rock piles so on the lookout for ideas to implement once I get the courage to rip it all apart.
Here is my original build thread

Halide is very good at growing corals but led is far better to show the colors. Thats why i add the kessil 360x to simulate the shimmering from halide. The orphek are more than enough to grow coral

Well i want to automate my zeovit dosing and after talking and carefully checking the ghl doser is the best in the group. It can precisely dose per drop which i need for zeobak, coral vitalizer, sponge power and acroglow. Apex fushion is very nice and easy to use but their hardwares are terrible from the ATK to the dos dosing pump to the wav pump to most other accessories are junk. GHL software is not as easy to program however u can use it without internet with your own wifi hotspot u create when installing the profilux and of course u can log in through internet with my ghl app. All in all GHL hardware is much better made and u can feel the build of the profilux not plastic like apex

I wander over here from the Other Thread you started.

Love your automation and setup.
Beautiful AMAXING SPS. I remember seeing your 2019 TOTM, and admiring it.

I've always considered Zeovit over the years. Never got into the Full system, but did use some of the Zeo Vit Products.

The orphek light is nice. Very bright. I had one to evaluate for a week.
Hope they improved the control.

Couple years ago when I tried one. You had to use a separate module, and SW wasn't good or reliable, so I returned it.

Nothing wrong with light, just control.

Got a little cooler to store some zeovit additive. Now I can automate dosing even those bottle that need to be in cool place.

Yeah, I saw those at walmart couple weeks ago and same thought crossed my mind.

Interesting, I was thinking along the same lines, but to store my melted frozen food and feed tank automatically. (Small batches, but automatic).

What are you going to do? Drill a hole thru the mini cooler to get the dosing lines in.

In my setup I have a larger mini fridge, and possibly drill an small access portal.

Yes just enough to feed 3 to 4 tubing then I will silicon the hole.

So true. Hardware is trash. Wet trash bags with rotten garbage.
