Sure, the details of my build can be found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/after-some-time-off-20in-modded-cube.346125/

but to save everyone some time:
-I use regular old Instant Ocean, as I have for the past 20 years. I tweak the Ca & Mg up slightly.
-Weekly 10% water changes
- infrequent vodka dosing if nutrients start to creep
-25w UV sterilizer plumbed to the return.
-chamber in sump full of live rock rubble, real live rock
- "Fiji" branch rock for the main structure. It wasn't live by the time it got off the boat, but it sat in the LFS vats for a few weeks.
- low-light cycle for maybe a month and a half, followed by a week or two with lights on. Pests were killed off during this time with Berghias and targeted peroxide applications.
- I did add some bottled bacteria at the start, don't remember what brand & don't think it matters.
- like all new tanks, sps didn't really take off until about 6 months in.
- flow is from a blueline hd 40 for the return and three mp10s

thanks!

Now that I have a DSLR, who would like to see what the Red Photon actually looks like? lol

Oh. Man, @sanjay lied. It isn’t just red.

 

[tnyr5]

Bear with me as I figure this stuff out. There will probably be lots of pictures of the same corals lol.

The war has begun!

Replanted the ASD Rainbow Mille up higher, seems to like it.

Dr. Fragit Blue "O", I don't think many people have this one. Like every samoensis I've seen, it won't get all its colors until it gets big.

 

[tnyr5]

Might be cheap but there isn't much that looks quite like it.

I don't think they're in business anymore.

Nikon D5300, just the kit lens for now. All were taken with the Radions turned to the 6500k setting.

 

[justingraham]

That’s the camera I have
If u look hard you can get the 90mm tamron cheap just make sure it’s the newer one that auto focuses

 

[tnyr5]

Yeah, I'll have to look around. I might grab the 40mm macro too, since I have an orchid collection to photograph, as well.

Just read your whole thread while eating lunch. Nice work here! I love the super high par approach. Your tank looks great.
