So over 40 heads but 10-11 variants as of now. I only have an 80 gallon display, 30 gallon farm both plumbed into a 100 gallon sump. Good overall volume but not a ton of room for torches so Im a bit selective on which I get cuz I still want to have room for sps. Ive got some bananas coming in and am in line for a CC 24k. Other than that Ill probably add a Master Torch and maybe a select piece from Malaysia. I also try not to play the name game with my corals. Too many have identical features but since they were released by two different vendors have different names. I don't need one of each name as long as i get one of the variants I'm partial to.

The name game bugs me lol. I’m all about the color. Buy every variant personally. If it’s the same name but slightly different color it comes home lol. Round of bananas all 5 bought are different lol

know what you mean about space. Getting to that point of….how do I place these and still keep my flow well

Awesome collection, obviously you never have any issues with ausi. Indo and malaysian varieties touching each other?
 
8 Bulb ATI T5s. 6 blue plus and 2 actinic bulbs with Reefbrite strips for pop. I’ll broadcast feed oyster feast and LPS food here and there but Ive found they really like lower Po4 so I don’t feed that often to make sure I don’t have any nutrient spikes. My current po4 is .05 ans No3 is 6-8
Man Russo you are just the guy i need to talk to! I have a 6-bulb 48" ATI fixture, and was wondering if i add 2 x Reefbrite strips, if the T5's would wash out/drown out the nice ReefBrites? do you find that happens? and also what about shimmer? any?
 
Lots of nice torches coming in from indo and Malaysia. I was told don’t let the two regions touch but so far I only Have indo.

nice collections for sure
