Cool.
Can you share the color mix settings?
I don't have orphek LEDs btw.
But still good to know how to get that color out of a Kenya tree.

 

[vetteguy53081]

I have reds at 15% and Greens at 3%
white is at 12% and rest of colors in higher levels (blue/uv etc)

I think mines a 10lb tank. Ur using the plant electronic c02 doser valve? That was a great discovery yrs back lol. Jeff at lifereef says its not needed and the needle valve style will work. He mentions info that is not really in line with what i saw recently on reef builders video on cal rx so i guess i will have to troubleshoot as i get it going.
Looks great man! Big move coming. How much starting over are you really gonna be doing? Tank wise... ?

Just think how cool it will be to launch the new tank with all that cheap, live Florida rock nearby.

I just spent some money on live rock, only to have it sit in Orlando FedEx depot for 4 days. It arrived wet enough and warm enough to be bacteria live, but given the smell of it... there was a lot of other mortality. Oh well.

Awesome, thanks! For some reason I thought it was a giant Duncan colony.

They almost look like torches to be honest.
