I was probably responsible for about 1200 of those alone.

The same way that I'm from NY and hate it. I settled further south (Maryland) to avoid as much as possible, but still seem to get hit with it.

Palm trees and an ocean breeze is the life for me. Counting down the days, bud. Sadly though, it looks like the goal posts on the end goal just got moved.
So, more time for the monster basement build?

There comes a time in every man's life when he must ask himself, "what do I fight for?" Freedom? Justice? 50K posts?... The important thing is that he takes the first step.

I'm actually thinking about upgrading to an all glass upstairs in the reef room. 96 x 36 x 30 (450). The build would also include a custom 36 x 36 x 18 "lagoon" for an expanded mangrove fuge with more softies and macros for seahorses. New controller cabinet, etc. I'm working on my diagrams and stuff little by little. It won't be for awhile anyway (3 years minimum). I do still want to build out the room directly under the tank as a fish room / lab. Likely over the next 3 years. Maybe?

Edit: this would also consist of further reinforcing the floor.

Anyone have a noopsyche pro k7 to spare? Me needs one more!
I might have a couple of spare Minis in the near future (maybe 2 weeks or so if tank transfer goes to plan--doesn't usually, but there's motive). Not the same light, but let me know!

I have 2 minis too, and currently using one in the center but I just can't get the color blending right with the pros.

I did 2 K7s - one on each end - and a K7 90 watt and Mini in the middle on the 125. The middle was looking kinda dim so I changed out the 90 watt and went with a Phlizon with whites all the way down to around 1% plus the Mini and blended the mini to try to make everything match. Sure wasn't easy.

Lacks those extra channels for the softer blues. Mine ends up a bit too purple because I turn up the violet to compensate the heavy blue. Whites pretty high, too.

Yep. Samesies. Fiddling hourly to try to match as close as I can.

Wondering though, my current noops have the bronze power supply, and the new ones were being shipped with the black brick power supply, will the spectrum still match?
