Little guy is doing it's thing. Eight months of growth with nice color. It's getting 300+ par for maybe 3 hours of my cycle under my Meridian/T5 combo, by necessity, in my mixed reef. I'm getting my potassium levels up now, so I am hoping for more good things to come.

Very cool, I just set up my new Meridian with T5 combo as well. Liking it so far just need to tweak the intensity a bit.

It's gorgeous. I was very very close to picking one up. That's awesome growth. What product are you using to raise the potassium?

Red Sea Trace Colors Part B. Based of a recent ICP test averaged in with what my salifert test kit shows, I've been dosing about 2 mls a day for the past week to get it up to about 400.

I have an adjustable T5 fixture and a ghl controller that took a while for me to figure out and blend with my meridians but now my light intensity, duration, and the blending of the two lights together has really made me happy. If you looked at my lighting schedule on my Meridian it would be super confusing without considering my intensity shifts from my T5 bulbs throughout the whole schedule.

The growth has been noticeable over the last few months. I did tweak my lights a little bit and increased the intensity for a little longer during my high light hours, but this growth I can't really just attribute to a little more light. I really think they're getting my potassium level up around 400 was also a big factor here. My consumption of all for Reef has gone through the roof as well.
