CC Disney Jr - tried to take a picture with my 50mm but realized trying to get the whole colony caused some major shadowing with the depth of water I’m working with.

Hey Ty,
Last few questions, I promise:
What is the distance in the middle between the inner two reflectors? 7in? And, what outside brackets are you running on the sides of the light? The stock 18in ones?
Thanks again!

Sorry, missed this! 7.5” between two inner reflectors.

Running the stock 18” brackets that came with it.

your pink and red are so good on the acros, do you think it's more to do with lighting or parameters, or both?
I have a hard time getting the red to come through on JF Fox Flame (right?...seems like something that shouldn't be that hard)
I know you watch your N&P almost obsessively, so if they fluctuate at all, does that affect your pink/red? if not, can we probably lean toward lighting as contributor?

Thanks bud. I think it really just comes down to that stability. Once my numbers are stable, my pinks and reds and usually the last to lock in.

And believe it or not, the red from the Foxflame is one of my pickier reds. It has to be happy for a long time before it really comes in deep.

I've noticed foxflame is one of my first acro's to lose color if something is off. I also have a colony in my nano that's been growing happily for a year, but still doesn't have the deep red.

Exactly! Hard to kill but it’ll be the first to lose color when not happy.

Love the new sump, your fish room is quickly running out of room. After reading your review on the versa pumps, I think I'm going to get two of them for my auto water change. I'm getting tired of all the problems I'm having with the dos.

Yeah, those two tanks will be the last in there... says my Sq footage and electrical supply.

Be a little hard to find Versa pumps right now. You may be better off waiting for the new pump I’m assuming they are releasing.

JF Jolt - my best attempt at trying to capture that blue. Still not what I see in real life but getting closer.

MattV Rainbow Envy - I really need to stop fragging this thing and just let it grow
