At least you guys can grow the stuff. Seems like the one thing that'll never grow, I'll have pieces in my tank for year or two and I never notice growth. I guess it does grow but it's always bare Skelton under the heads and slow as a snail. I think I need moar lamp/give it some waves or something. My icp test came back pretty solid. Just low potassium witch is fairly important but still...
I've been starting to agree with BRS videos- PH is really important and it affects/determines growth rate.

Yea me too. my ph generally ranges from 8.1-8.4 threwout the day. I'm just running t5's and some mp10's I could probably use a little more light and flow otherwise I'm stumped.

Maybe.... I run 8.8 to 9.0... I think that it's very system specific...

Tomorrow we have the electrician coming to install the stand by generator, so today I dug the trench for the conduit.



Tomorrow when i get off work I'll clean the lagoon and take some freshies.









The kessils have a different spctrum....more white so the pics aren't like the 220.

I love the way kessils look bro. I prefer closer to that spectrum and kinda lines up with brs reccomended setting for v2+. Nothing beats the Kessel Ray's shining through the water though and way more realistic to diving the reef. Epic! Looking forward to the fresh pix:D

The shimmer really does look more natural when you see it in person.

I love the blue colors the radiand and AI give but the whites just aren't the same.

Excellent way to put it I do like the way the blues make some of the shrooms pop. Def brings out the colors inside of them for sure.
