I've also started dosing strontium and potassium in the last month or so and have seen some improvement in coloration

What are you overall plans for the tank? I like the crispness of your layout, keep it up!

I love that tank! So do you test for strontium and potassium or just add a small amount on a weekly basis? Also, how's your growth under those lights, the color looks pretty nice.

i think there are alot of leds out there that suck and a few great ones but the tech is only getting better thats why i like the spotlights because i can ad more if i want and utilize them for nano projects or suplementals if i get a vertex or AI in the fixture or something.
