I was thinking about adding them to my 38g cube in addition to my xr15, do get more of the “blanket” affect. Are these capable? I’ve seen where you said you added them more for color but was curious if you ever did any par readings

I didn’t but someone else did. First is with and second is without. The blue numbers are with the led strips.

Frank, I haven’t seen you around much. Was it something I said? It’s OK , it usually is. All good?

Still hanging out together. My former blood red cleaner shrimp could not stand my skunk cleaner shrimp even though they were together for almost a year and a half. It’s nice to see these two getting along.

This is the birdnest today as compared to when I first got it. The growth is kinda shocking. I’ll have to do some fragging by the end of the year. Cheers

Have you still been running on stock lighting???
I would be curious to know how you have them set for programming. Tank looks great!

Yes, however I did add 2 actinic blue 21 USA leds. Not for more par, everything was growing great but for blue because the colors of the corals were washed out with the white lights on full. I kept the factory light setting as they were set up but reduced full whites from noon to 5:00 pm. In my thread there are pictures with the hood up showing the led strips mounted.

Very nice, I took my lid completely off and added a 3d printed fleece roller, and a different light, but I’ve thought about adding the lid back on and giving the stock lights a try again.
I am pretty happy with where the tank is at now, but the issue I had with the lid is my temp would get too hot. I usually left the little feeding door open and added a fan to blow over the top of the tank.
Decided it was easier to just remove the lid all together
Anywheres, here’s the tank,
Ice phantom snowflake clown pair,
Gsp,
Colorado sunburst (ft. The first split)

Thank you! I can’t open your video on my Apple phone. Could you pull on YouTube and paste it here or post a picture? I would really like to see it.

I wish you lived closer, I sell torch frags for $50 and hammer and frogspawn for $35 with the stipulation that if something happens to my colony I can buy a frag back at the same price. Came in handy once when bjd reared its ugly head. @Linlox

I believe it's usually question number 1 or 2 on most applications and it definitely comes up during any interviews so yes?
