The Spectra/Radion is an awesome way to make a led/t5 hybrid look slick as!
Loving the Florida ricordias, and the zoas will look good next to them on that rock!

Thank you! I think so too. I was thinking about mounting a few SPS on that right rock but if they grow into colonies then the light won't reach the zoas anymore.

I actually received a 4 foot spectra for a future build yesterday and it looks as nice in the flesh as I had hoped!
I guess they'll have time to grow while the SPS are branching out and they may get enough light through the branches.

I don't think I need the fans, but I'm gonna add two 4" or maybe larger fans just in case. Just doing more research which fans to get.

Here's a close-up pic of the ricordeas!

Tank looks awesome and LOVE the rics! They really are some of my favorite coral.

Thanks Rev!

I've added a few SPS gems since my last update and a couple of fish (leopard wrasse, lawnmower blenny, and yellow coris wrasse).
Tank is doing well! Here's a FTS using an iPhone with orange filter gel.

Thank you so much! Some serious water movement in the 4:00 pulse mode!

Oh no, that's a WWC Christmas Mirabilis. I'm not spending $200 for a tiny frag of WD. In fact, I think a WD is overrated.

 

[brogers]

I hear ya, $200 would be cheap for WD frag tho...crazy.

 

[brogers]

How long will you keep them in racks down low?

 

[ARVERLY]

Just a week.. my radion is actually only running at 40%..

 

[brogers]

Arverly are you dosing two part by any chance?

No I'm using a calcium reactor and I love it! I can literally see new growth daily
