Are yours the 14k Meridians or the OGs?
I have one of each. I got the og before the 14k came out. The 14k is waaaay better though. I am going to replace the optics in the og when they lauch the led upgrade kits. Going back and forth with them in email before i bought the 14k, sounds like they are going to sell that kit sometime soon and expect it to be around $50.

That’s great news! Mine are all OG but really wanted the 14k after they came out. I will be moving to those once they’re released. Is there an ETA?

It's a tough one, Red_Beard........................ 🍻

But I'm not sure if the Photon and Meridians can share the same programming schedule on the community tab. For instance, my Meridians and my Meridian edge bars can't be on the same programming.
I bet you are right. I searched Red_Beard and nothing came up.

And just last night, he dropped a large chunk of some dead stick piece that had broken off at some point into my powerhead. Was squeaking pretty loud.

Well, i wanted to post up a sweet update with all my frags all mounted up and no extra racks stuck to the front of the display, but alas, it was not meant to be. This will have to suffice for an inerim update.

That left side rock looks so empty without the frogskin amd birdsnest. For a cool factoid, aquatic dreams stuck the frogskin colony in their main display in the NSL location! Kinda neat.
I did get that awesome aqua rocks rack installed too. I think it looks fantastic! I will post a glamor shot or two once i get it loaded up with sticks.
Other than that, looks like everything is doing awesome, new frag are all settling in very well! (except red hot hat. It decided it hates life)

The coral fairy paid me a visit this evening in his big brown van! I got 2 of the 3 boxes i am anticipating. Battlecorals box was delayed a day, Adam saw the chaos with the weather and decided to hold off, good thing he did, the other 2, both coming from california were likewise a little delayed (luckily only a few hours, not days!)

Here is the Krusty Kraken! Way cool growout from Dust Bowl Corals. Whoever gets their cyphastraea to encrust the whole kraken first wins!

And this one is for SPS Tank's Tropicana grow out. This is a beautiful tank and will give me some of that orange pop that i have been very much missing now that most of the nems are gone. This thing is going to be BRIGHT!

I will have some more pics for you all tomorrow when box #3 shows up!
Dang I missed this Beard! The SPS Tank frags were awesome and yours is no exception! Good luck buddy.

Nice rack! Has anyone tried one of these on 3/4 glass without the suction cups?
I have almost all of their racks, OG. None of them are on suction cups, but the magnets are very low profile, well sealed, and super strong. They look great in the tank, and take on a natural look VERY quickly. These add a depth to your scape, for sure.


Just don't mount your's upside down like someone else did. 🙃

Pardon me, but are the exterior magnets for your racks rated for submersion? I would be interested in putting one on my overflow I think
100%! Almost all of my external magnets are submerged and some have been in the system for almost 2 years.

Thar she blows! Battlebox ahoy!

Kinda really digging that spath, and the thinny (twilight dragon) and bpg, and... all of them really. A really cool unique blend of different families of acropora that i have not yet had the pleasure of growing!

Also, FTS because it is overflowing with frags at the moment.

Another killer battle box! I want to order one of these a week, but the divorce and everything would suck. Mail those to me would ya?

What is this ridiculous thing?

Im excited to try the new meridian 24 on the frag tank build. I have an xr15 right now and love it, but the Reefbreeder is going over this new one.

August to October I've been told. I have one coming in June as a promo. The new individual puck intensity setting is an awesome touch, you'd be able to grow acros and mushrooms, for example, at the same water depth with this feature.

I love it! This reminds me of a few sets of "other brothers"

You have the Dendro brothers (sorry about the hair Chris)

And the Scoly brothers, complete with a young @tbrown and a Rasta @kevgib67

Thanks! Can't you put it in your AI generator and remove the hair?

This is teaching me that I don’t have enough Twilight Dragon in my life.

That sounds like something they'd sale in a gas station for "aromatherapy ".
