Looks like it's time for a few frag packs to be made. I'm interested if your willing.

You've done an amazing job and obviously put in a lot of time. Well done. Love it!

This is such an inspiring tank, well done! My current build is going to be t5, so it's nice to see the success you're having with them. Would you say your videos are pretty close to in person from the beginning of this year? I'm trying to decide on bulb combos currently and that looks very close to what I'll be shooting for. I prefer whiter spectrums as well.

Have you tried any tropic or 6500k lamps?

The video in the tank of the month was recorded 9 months ago and the fts is recently back in august September i think. Got really good growth . I dont run the 65k but i ran the ati aqua blue special. My lighting now is around 14-15k since i added more led to get some more color since im not pushing foe growth anymore.
ime, skip the actinic bulbs and you’re golden, mixture of coral plus and blue plus is a best combination.

Awesome, thanks for the input. I ordered some bulbs to play around with when the time comes. 2 being true actinic

but I also ordered 2 tropics so maybe they'll meet in the middle and look okay. If not, I'll follow your lead with that b+/c+ combo. I plan to have 4 B+ kinda as the staple in the 10x54w.

Amazing tank, I look forward to future updates.
