Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[saltyfilmfolks]

It’s going to be for a standard 10g then a biocube 14g how is it for sps. I’m getting it new for $200 from my lfs if I get it. The guy I’m mocking the biocube uses it for sps and his grow like weeds he does does but I will too. What is a better light at that price

Naw that's perfect. Overkill really.

This is the coral I'm trying to kill btw.
A little piece landed in the rock. And well, I have my Porites.

It's not that it's not powerful, I dunno. I just could never get a good spread enough for the high light acros I liked to keep, and still keep my other LPS and softies at the same values. I never had a good experience with the Prime HD. I do like Kessil 160 a lot more. But peaople like ReeferMadness80G had lots of success in a tank sized like yours. But hey, it's up to you. Though, my dislike could be coupled by the fact that I dropped it in my tank, what, like 2 times! ;Playful

Edit-I think it's overpriced, that's why I don't really like it. And I would not get the gooseneck.

"Hey man, how do ya get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice baby, practice."

Ehhehh, I actually have played there. 4 times. With the cello.


Seriously. My brother has a (decent? Good? No idea) camera, the Canon Eos Rebel T6i DSLR camera.

 

[mkutsch]

No idea how to get saturation out, maybe a sheet of some sort, transparent orange?

I chose the 14g biocube with sump because of reefermadness80g. I want the kessil but it’s too much with the controller and I found the ai prime hd for $185 shipped with hanging kit

 

[mkutsch]

Cool.

Andrew wants a brittle star. Would it be ok in ours? Maybe a tiny one?

If you live in the NY area I'd happily give you a micro brittle. I have white ones all over in my tank along with larger brittle stars that range from black to black with brown lines... in total I have at least 3-4 different kinds haha

Honestly I hate the kessil lighting because of the shadows it creates :\ I ordered a few Kessils a week ago for my 29g and I sent them back :\

Not much you can do about shadowing of compact LEDs, apart from Radion's HEI lenses, which I'm lovin right now..
Tried my hand at a camera again, but when I tried to load em to the web, said they were too big.

Here we go!

Unfortunately you cannot see the goldish hue on the tentacles of the torch, but its really awesome up close IRL.

Very kind. I'm in the South.

You guys have had a whole party without me. It's ok. They had cake at the shower. Chocolate covered strawberries too!

 

[mkutsch]

Cake in a shower? In...teresting..?
