My shrimp found there spots… guess I’ll see them tonight lol ! … I wanted 3 but I thought 2 would be acceptable in a 20.

Also anyone ever get that feeling there light spectrum is wrong lol
Yup. All the time. I wonder how accurate my seneye is on spectrum.

I would turn down the UV and Violet to 100% (if not lower), when I ran an AI Prime, I had both UV and violet at 80%, the blues at 100%, 4% red and green, and 25% white. The reason i recommend not overdriving them is that it will burn them out faster and will melt the lens. Just aesthetically, I think BRS’s settings are too purple and too white, but if you like the ratio, you can just lower all channels a little to get them to 100% or lower. But if you like the way you have it set and your corals are doing good, there’s no reason to listen to my recommendation.

Yesh I did just replace the lens since it was burnt in the UV department. I’ll prolly lower the violet and up and raise blue up. I keep thewhite for my one sps coral haha

Corals look great! I don’t know how I’ve avoided having any aiptasia in my current tank, I am not very meticulous when it comes to inspecting new corals. I’ve had two pop up since Jan of last year, and I was able to take out the coral each was on and thoroughly eradicate. So, I’m definitely feeling lucky (I know how discouraging they can be). Do they really want $99 shipping? If so, that’s just price gouging.
