You have a pink spot and a tailspot together? I always figured they wouldn't get along. Hmmm.
Been together over a year. They don’t even acknowledge each other

So I decided to back my lights down some today. When I look at the Magnifica I can’t help but think it’s being blasted by intense lighting. Also it looks so much better in the morning and during ramp up. So I lowered them down 20%. Slight improvement.

The big thing, at least to me, was my green and purple scans opened up for the first time in months!

And on a sad note, Fast Louie, my blue chromis and wife’s favorite fish passed away. He has been blind for quite a while.

I would spot feed him every day and he hung in there for a long time.

RIP Fast Louie

He was lucky to find peace in your care mike. Sorry.
