My cheap 125

Just my dumb opinion but China lights that connect to your WIFI might have some security issues. Just throwing that out there from the back left side of my brain. I still use them but wish I had others.
I’ve noticed watching @Utubereefer, @tbrown3589 and @Gtinnel (you) that’s the name of the game. Post and you might get lucky….I’m guessing the more a vendor knows you the easier it gets. The only thing I have won (haven’t received yet) was a free coral that @Utubereefer generously passed my way from winning something. #UtubereeferYouDaMan!

Not a problem with Noopscyhe light since they do not connect to your wifi, their controls aren't advanced enough. I just realized I'm not sure how they communicate with the controller, but definitely not wifi. Bluetooth, maybe infrared, idk?

I've gotten to where I enjoy spending time posting with these guys on sales threads. Sometimes it pays off in freebies sometimes it doesn't.

Ah I went to the website and just saw the $0.00 price before selecting an option and assumed it meant not available.

Wait what rotates, and more importantly why?

I didn't even realize you won two of them. Have you got both of them in yet, if so how do you like them?

They both arrived on Thursday last week. They're going on the lobster tank but they feel solid! The 75 that I have is good and the 90 (old version replaced by the 140) is still going strong after almost a year. It was enough to grow corals on my 75 by itself. I still have a $145 GC that I might use when they release the new replacement for the 75 watt as extra light for the middle. The tank is so odd shaped though that I'm hoping the two lights are enough since it's "short" and shallow.

Freebies or not, it's great advertisement for cool vendors and I like to think we have some fun with it.

The light does a 360. I guess it gives more spread through the day. Maybe give a simulation of the suns movement if angled properly.

Surely I could get 2 Radions for a kidney. I could sell both kidneys but the dialysis machine would cost more than I'd get for the kidneys.

What I heard is that I have 4 Radions just at the ready.

Ohhhhh. My 90 by itself would leave green or red led spots on higher up rocks. Spinning would effectively eliminate those spots ending up permanently on one spot, especially if there's a coral there.

Got kids? There's a couple more available!

Seems like a lot to ask from 2 lights on that size tank regardless of dimensions. When I had 5 on my tank the shadows bugged me. The 6th one made it much better. Although my tank has two of the black plastic braces from front to back.
I am not running them even close to 100%, but I'm getting ready to raise my par so I guess I'll see where I stop the intensity at to get about 450 par at the top of my rockwork.

I have kids but I believe they're too young to "donate" a kidney. Did you know it's illegal in the US to sale/buy an organ. My dad needed a kidney and was joking about buying one from someone, but I'm honestly not sure he was joking.

I'm thinking that with only 12" of water I "should" be able to get a 30" spread from the 140s. I'll keep the lower light corals on the sides and keep the center bright enough for some higher light demand corals. Eventually I'll win a light from Riptide and pop that baby in the middle. Solid plan I'd say!

I just turned my whites on today in well over a year. I’ve been running mainly blues but realized the white light couldn’t hurt.

I tagged you (I think it was you) in the BRS par meter giveaway on Instagram.

Ok, bedtime! I pulled a @Gtinnel and didn't sleep last night.

Sign me up, here use my pen... Yeah

Ironically I don't, I have one of the Neptune par meters. I would find it and tag you but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to social media. I have accounts but basically just for giveaways and I'll usually hand my phone to my wife and have her do whatever it is that needs done to enter.
I looked to see if he had tagged me but either it wasn't me or I don't know how to tell if I was tagged, and it's very likely me not knowing what I'm doing.

What do you think about this guy? Its a spider nose crab. Hitchhiked on that pen shell in the background. It has molted 3-4 times and I’m worried it might get too big. I put him in my newest 6 gallon Nano at the moment. Also there is two anemones attached to the pen shell (along with many other things). Do you guys possibly know what type of anemones these are….?
