Wow three years have passed since I set up this tank and it feels like it was so much longer. Now that I have some down time for the holiday, Here are some pictures of the tank at critical Mass before I had to beak it down and reboot in February of this Year.

Since then the acros or frags that i took have grown back out in the last year. Here is a vid after I upgraded some of the chips in my cobs and got rid of T5.
Pardon the coralline algae I finally have it cleaned up and will get some updated pics over the break!

How is the growth with full LED vs T5 / LED and which COBS did you upgrade to?

Awesome growth with this system and looking forward to your reboot.

Hey all thx for following my build. since last year's breakdown, I have grown and had to remove a bunch of acro colonies due to warfare by growth. I also switched up my lights by adding some new diy multichips that have a brighter blue and about 7% whites. Through trial and error the color of the lights remind me of radiums supplemented with reedbrites. I know the pic sucks but I am using a crapy old S8 which is at the End of Life. But you get the idea of the growth vs the last pic. And the improvement in the lighting.

That looks ridiculous. Thanks for sharing. You sure know what you're doing.
