And you had problems? Gorgeous!

It hit pretty hard. Many were either completely lost and others dwindled down to frag size. Then some were hardly affected at all, like the one above.

Fun hobby, but leaves you scratching your head sometimes. Thanks!

Wondering how many hours you run the MH for? Very nice pieces and pictures.

Thanks so much! I run the halides for only 3.5 hours. PG&E is a killer and that's about how long I run them before the chiller comes on.

Ya Ele not any better on my side of the states. 3.5 definitely works for ya. I've seen some pretty nice tanks with only 2hrs of 400 watt. the rest blue bars.

I know its not a option for a lot of people, But I Built a off grid solar system that runs several pumps With an auto switcher back to AC power if the battery gets low. works pretty good at saving some juice.

Update with the RRU Angry Bird. Took a little while, thought it was a gonner, but the AB proves to be quite resilient. Growing back strong.

Really nice stuff! And i feel the pain of ups and downs 2022 was a bad year for my acros, but those that survived are coming back. Do you still have the bobba fett and sangria? I haven't see the sangria before and i don't think many people had the bobba fett.

Time for another random picture update. Not a whole lot is new. Bought a maxspect gyre xf350 for the left side of the tank. Will move the mp40 to the right side next to the other. Curious to see how this will impact growth structure and color.

A little setosa action. Acquired this guy a while ago at a CFM event as a grafted setosa. At the time it was a single red/orange color. Since then it has picked up 2 more distinct grafts and maybe another.

Wow...didn't realize it's been over a year since adding pics. Went through some stn challenges with a few pieces and some of the pieces just stopped growing. Ran a couple ICPs and everything jecks out with Li running high as usual. Also treated the tank with oxolinic acid to get the bugs back in balance in case that was the issue. Still need to send out a sample for microbe analysis. Modified the feeding regimen a little...started feedings with two types of phytoplankton (Nannochloropsis & Rhodomonas). Two times a week in the morning before the lights come on I feed them a concoction similar to CRTs for extra nutrient loading.

Any who...time for pics.
