Very nice!! Cool shape kinda looks like a hand.

Thanks! Yeah, it really does, especially from the top down. The profile view is a lot different.

And I think my colors aren’t as bright because my nitrate and phosphate are low. Nitrate is 0 (Nyos) and phosphate is 0.01 (Hannah ULR). I started using reef roids at night to see if that changes anything.

Yes,
It is 24/7 But, right when blues come on at 8am, it has massive feeder polyps, its a beast, looks hungry all the time

Edit: 3 months total growth and that's why I love ati t5's

@Perry What is your bulb combo and photoperiod for your ATI? Nice growth and good looking WD.

Thank you. I've been thinking about doing something similar. Instead of having the 2-bulb channel with blue/actinic on the longest duration and also act as a dawn dusk before the main channel, I was planning on putting the daylight bulbs in the 2-bulb channel which will run in the middle of the photoperiod and my main channel be more blue. I have a 8-bulb with ReefBrite XHO and the more I've been looking into this, I'm finding that the 6-Bulb ATI, like yours is already enough light. So, I may only run my daylight channel 2-bulbs like 2-3 hours.
And to stick on topic of this thread, here is my WD from day-1 which I just got 2-weeks ago.

Very nice! Looks fully encrusted as well

Yes, it has a nice start. I look forward to seeing it grow. I also picked up a HW so I am interested in the comparison. They’re both pretty green right now. The HW is more electric while the WD is more yellowish. The tips are similar w/ the HW being more purple and the WD more lavender.
