Getting some good growth. I actually had a small hiccup with getting far too much par. I believe when I started using purit and vibrant my water got sooo clear my par went up too high. Getting better growth and color over the past few weeks

So. FINALLY after very slowly and naturally my phosphate is about .1 all the way from 1.0, and recovering from a phos crash in Januiary

I also "upgraded" to the Gen 5s. I did a roof for an eco tech engineer and we did a little bartering. We'll see if they're an upgrade or not

Growth has been good and FINALLY got my coraline algae growing like crazy again..

Things are great. I picked up a SKA jackpot and a RRC Rainbow splice. both which are growing pretty well so far. My Jolt is finally growing again which took a long time to recover from the phos crash. I just need to get some color back on a couple of pieces that I had too high in par.

It's cool to see shots from a month ago... Sometimes you wonder if growth is decent , then you see that there is significant difference between a month a part... I am going to add another g5 xr 15 for better spread. I guess they're on back order, though. I think a lot of pieces are still adjusting from G4 to g5. Some liked it , some didn't. Some will have to wait awhile to get better color I guess. Gets better each week though

Love the photos, corals are looking good!

What camera did you get and what settings are you using for photos? Are you also using a top down view port of sorts?

Well. Got the Galaxy Note Ultra 20. So, the camera is spectacular...well in comparison to what I was using. Just a top down Avast thing w/ orange filter.

But I am super happy w/ how my tank has been progressing as of late. Growth has been great, as has color.

The tank is going really well. Some good growth and coloration all around. I've added a few new pieces. I think in Spring time I should be able to start cutting some of these higher priced sticks. Now that the humidity is gone my pH is 8.1 to 8.4 consistently.

I also added another fixture. I know have 3 g5 blues and 2 g5 pros. I love the combo!

6 weeks growth i think

Awesome colors! Since you have two different models, in mobius do you have two tanks that you program? Or is it all programmable together?

They're both set to ab+.. the pro has more whites, so they'll look different regardless. I wasn't a fan of the blues but I like the combo!
