Really impressed that the blue light doesn’t wash out the camera feed. Very nice @LRT
Yes it was pleasant surprise how it does capture exactly what I'm seeing in person. Has night mode as well as zoom. Kinda blurs out individual shrooms in zoom but overall view is spectacular for what it is:D

Also what color do you guys think these are. Was talking to @Lost in the Sauce and he commented Orange look on a cpl of them. Wife swears they are Orange as well but I see Red. I only see Red when its dominant color though no matter how close the colors are.

Sup Dawgs. Just wanted to throw down a quick progress pic of sump #1;)
Didn't make sense to have baby skimmer in shroom table side and monster skimmer breaking in 2nd set of tables.
Super ton of action happening in sump 1. Added a 256 gpd pump to move water in it as well. T off to get top and bottom pushed back to skimmer:D Was getting foam sitting on water level on turf screens as well as felt a little too stagnant to me.
Also added another 256 gpd pump to move water around in sump #2.
Everything's on smart outlets.
Just wondering when its going to blast off for the moon at this point hahahaha

Since I'm on sump kick today. Heres #2.
Not as violent as I'd like so im gonna T it off same way.
See how clean bottom is?:D ;)
Rock in both sumps has been strategicly placed so water moved freely through bottom to clean it up.

Those things are just beasts man very nice. Could take the ones up top a few days to acclimate and lay down. But looking at sheer size and vesicles and just general structure I wouldnt be surprised if they couldn't sit and be very comfortable around 250-350 par.
Almost remind me of bubbletip crossed with carpet nem or something. Crazy

Check this out. Totally frustrated with myself in not really getting my RODI tightened up sooner. Total rookie mistake and I really knew better. Ive been dumping somewhere around 400ppm tds on initial fire up of my rodi for who knows how long.
Got it down to 0 tds with new filters and DI.
Anyhow look at brown discs. Ive literally taken one out and soaked in 12% h202 then scrubbed. Whatever it is its a stain.
Won't come off with toothbrush in 12%H202.

They say don't worry your shrooms don't mind dirty water. I say look at the picture. You can see what shrooms are not happy and which shrooms are. Looks like shrooms circled are literally trying to crawl off nasty stained discs as others are perfectly good and happy and growing.

I say Define dirty water sirs.
Firm believer that super highest, cleanest water quality is where to start.
From there yes shrooms just do better around 15-20ppm N and .05 and up P. and stable params is only way to go for proper best success.

Going to be exhausting removing shrooms from nasty discs but its a must happen thats for sure!

Felt like forever but good things are coming and glad I waited for sure.
Getting yours tomorrow?
Can't wait to see what they do in different systems.
Another thing. These look like they will be light hogs. Hope im pushing enough intensity for them to blow up!
Thinking about setting up other 2 tables on higher par for shrooms that can't seem to get enough;)
