I absolutely loathe talking to 99% of people on this forum, and interacting in almost any of the threads. Everything has to be an argument, someone asks for help, or to clarify how I do something, and suddenly I have several people starting an argument with me or bothering me to clarify something. Which I want no part of doing.

I don't ever want to argue with anybody about anything, it's exhausting. I just want to say my peace and leave it at that.

I'm not here to be tagged in threads, only to be annoyed when I try to help
I'm not here to tell you how you should be doing things
I'm not here to defend how I do things
I'm not here to argue
I'm not here to debate
I'm not here to deal with people

I'm here to have a build thread. No more. No less.

Well the bonsai structure just shipped today so it should be here in a week or so!

Also my other 10 or whatever corals will be here tomorrow too.
That's how I do things. .... cart before the horse! Looking forward to the new coral tree!

Goodbye TGC Cherry Bomb, we hardly knew ye!

"MARINE ORNAMENTS".

Also, you don't want their SPS, they want our indo SPS -- We want their croc island scolly and high end acans. Aussielandia is the home of quality LPS, although they'd have you believe otherwise :D
Yourreef sold a Landia in the live sale. I saw it go.

I know it’s somewhere in here but I got tired of leafing through pages. What lights are you running and what par? I know you started with a ati 6 bulb fixture but can’t remember if you changed along the way

Len

Radion XR30 G4, and AquaticLife Hybrid 4 bulb with Upgraded Ballast.

I'm running the radion with a diffuser, at 16k spectrum (more whites, greens, and reds than AB+) and intensity is at 100%. I have a 14 hour photoperiod with the T5 on for 7.5 of those hours at peak.

I don't test par, but I think the more light the better.

Second batch of SPS showed up today. Here's some quick pics of them in the tank.

They're all healthy and colorful, ordered these from @therman

Next order of business... getting the bonsai structure in the mail so I can place some corals.

Sweet man. That's what I was doing all day too. Sweet haul. I might be more excited about the bonsai than you.

As much as I enjoy the new frags I'm way more excited for the bonsai structure, it'll make the tank look like a tank again lol.
