WOW this is a pic heavy thread! Just finished going through this all! I can’t imagine taking this down to redo the sides! That must have been a tremendous amount of work! Looks amazing! I can only wish for something to be half this good one of these days!

I may have missed it, but can you tell us how you are running your radions? Natural or artificial? What your maxing the units at? If your on artificial mode, what are you maxing each color at? Im just curious because your corals look great! My sps and didn't react so hot when I first put the radions up. I did a lot of teaking and they are starting to respond a lot better. But i have had the radions up for around 4 months maybe. Thanks! :roll:

I've changedgraph so many times in past 12 months. I tried 100% with all colors for 6hours, blues for 6 hours. I ran this for 3 months.. But that was way to muchlight. I had crazy growth with some bleaching. Had to hide all my chalice's. Iam now running all colors 100% with over all intensity 85% for 2.5 hours then 20ksetting for 1.5 hour, blues 8 hours. that’s not the order just the times. Myfront 6 lights are not as intense Still getting great growth. I'm hoping thiswill be a happy middle. So far it looking promising. For more info see my fullbuild.
