I had a friend ask me if I was now glueing to the glass then he saw the video haha.

This is how I think a reef should me.
A real reef is over crowded

I'm almost to the point were I will have to start gluing to the from tank

Yes I deal with wars everyday and some are good but one of my bad wars was when my Roboki ate half of my JF hell fire chalice man that was I had one to deal with.

It's hits 3yrs in nov but the first year I crashed it 6 times and learned almost everything you shouldn't do plus read more than I ever believed possible (still not done doing that) but over the last year I get a 1/8-1" of growth depending on species easily a month.
Thanks for the complement this is one of the most challenging, complex hobbies I've ever done but to take time and look into and around your tank can be humbling at times.

The control I have with my Apex is out standing and I'm only running at 65% blue and 54% white. Any stronger for now and I start getting whited out corals, so I've been going slow for the past 7 months.

Yeah I dont have a controller yet but I need to take them in and have Mike hook them up. But I run them roughly at the same power.

At first I wasn't sure if the coverage would do but Mike and Eric assured me that the two 4 pucks would be more than enough and they really are. I had mike over for some help shortly after and you talk about a walking book of GREAT information. Mike the man and the lights are AWSOME!
