Turtle's Fairy Tale

Nice, I would gently tease the cheato apart a bit, make it 25 - 50% bigger, let the water and light in a bit more.

Just catching up after a weeks vacation with no internet access. Everything is looking great! I was worried I would come back to find another disaster.

A whole week with no internet?

How did you survive?

Hahaha, hopefully he doesn't come for an extended visit. I feel he has left from my residence tho. Got all kinds of warm fuzzies about the tank right now. I was iffy for the first week, but we're golden now. Almost at week number two being set up and everything is still level. The monti and two stylos are happy as can be, great color and crazy PE.

Only thing I NEED now is a replacement fuge light before I start growing algae in the wrong places. I'm thinking of the Kessil H80. I still have the H380, but without a dimmer switch it's just way to powerful for my refugium size. It needs to be spread over an area the size of my whole sump...

Not interested in the chaetomax? I get good growth from it without breaking the bank. It mounts similar to the eshopps but higher with a nice even spread. Unless that’s too much twinning...lol

A week without internet/phone sounds like heaven to me! Welcome back Brew!

Ball already rolling on the H80... I was going to get that light for the little nano I had, but I sold the tank.

No filter, no phone adjustment, super smurf photos... but my SPS is happy!

Is that the newer IM light? I had the older all white one which did well too.

This the version I’m using, and a pic in a trigger 20, water level is 8” but when I turn return off, it’s about 2” above the water and could still raise about 1/2”
