New growth/color shot (3 weeks):

~1 week of the contest/Seatak test frags

If seatak comes out in front that will be impressive since that particular frag didn't start with a healed tip.

Lazy FTS update:

Seatak is the clear winner for encrusting. Just moved the two contest frags to the middle frag rock to give the new torches room. Unfortunately lost my hellfire torch from two frag workshops ago when it somehow broke off the super glue and landed perfectly on the polyps while I was gone for the weekend

Oddly the Nexus Burst really likes that back wall which means I might be able to start using the right bommie for corals instead of nems.

Some close ups

[Darkxerox]

Thank you

No prob! I cut all the cool white from the later parts of the day since I just don't like how it looks. Might do the same for midday.

These are your standard settings or the settings you activate for the photos (or same thing?)

 

[Darkxerox]

Both. Although when my phone isn't cooperating I sometimes drop the violet levels. More of a problem after peak lighting.

Looks like a lot you can tweak lmao probably a good thing I have cheaper lights, keeps me from fumbling about. I already see things I could adjust (in other words screw up) just looking at the picture you showed.

How did you decide on the settings? Why lime higher, why 400/420..@ 63%?

Color and PAR based on Daniel's recommendations.

So noticed that my clowns had stopped spawning for a good 6-8 months and just figured oh they're 18+years old, maybe they're just past their limit. Then of course here's a new batch of eggs being put down (NSFW cause of ovipositor action?)

Oddly the only change in diet was switching back to Spectrum pellets from the RN TDO. Could be coincidental, but it's what they were raised on forever.

FTS, too lazy to clean the front:

Where do you see the eggs, I’m looking hard I don’t c anything that looks like fish eggs. That’s pretty cool your fish do that!
