my new baby... AKA The Café

[sp1187]

No they sure aren't. After all my light shenanigans lately I've come to conclusion my v2+ lamp put out some light my shrooms where digging real hard. Gotta get back on track and get things popping again thats for sure.
Cant wait to get shrooms transferred some of them aren't digging the no light situation

what sucks is, the leopard shroom is really popping under the new lights.
I just can't get a pic.

How did you set yours up?
I pretty much used brs settings and my shrooms went crazy. Had to break them in a bit to it but man they like it for sure.

Correct and not all filters are created equal.

My polyplab kit came with three different tints. Two are unusable in my normal daytime spectrum. Wish I'd have known, coulda just bought the one that worked..

before I bought the poly lab, I used orange cellophane, from Michaels, taped over the lens. works fine.

you got the reef breeder lights?
that's what I bought.
right now I'm still trying to figure them out.
since I'm home all day I just manually turn them on/off.
lol.... I use the cloud setting first and have it set to 50% blue and light blue.
two hours later I change it to the sun setting ramp on the whites at 50%.
last 4 hours of the light schedule change it to moon all blue.

Frag tank is 30. Have an idea but still open to suggestions. Mostly shrooms and euphylia grow out

I test every two months just to amuse myself.
I don't dose anything.
140g total water in the 150 build. I do 30/35g water change every 7/10 days.
I don't have a tank full of stonies like the rest of you.

That's great. Out of curiosity, what does your alk usually test at when you do?

I recommend you check out the ledzeal.com mirage x300 superblue layout
It's just shy of 36 inch long and has almost the same led layout as the g5 blue. Wifi app controlled and will cost a good bit less then 600.00!

I really like the lights on the 150.
but they are supposed to have a 5 year replacement warranty.
I had problems with one, and got jerked around by the seller.
D recommended the RB's so that's what I went with.

As like everything in this hobby you def get what you pay for. Or you go cheap first like I did and pay twice.
