Maybe he lives in the Southern Hemisphere...

Orrr ... maybe too close to Indiana...

There you go, it has been wet about 5 weeks now. It’s just getting over the uglies and I’m starting to add Acro frags.

What type of lights are those?

How do you like the Orpheks?

I really like them, I have had Atlantik’s and OR bars since 2018 and they do a great job growing coral and I really like the color. They do white very well so I can get a nice 7500-10000k look middle of the day but still damp to a nice royal blue look in the evening. I also like to mount my lights high and the narrow angle lenses are great for that. If I turn all the lights to 100% I can get 400-500 par on the sand with this setup which is perfect since I really don’t like running lights at 100%

Yes he does, my 300 is a work of art. Amazing silicone work and the beveled glass is really nice.

Nice tank , is it 300 g or 312 g ?

Orphek Atlantik Icons and a mix of OR3 and OR4 bars with Osix and dim drivers.

It is technically 310-312ish (96x30x25). It actually is exactly 300g of water with the sump and all.

Pablo Escobar is definitely a looker! The great thing about Powder Browns is that, depending on the lighting, they can appear black, brown, gray, or blue. It is a beautiful specimen, indeed. Many thanks to @Mschmidt

If I remember he's in Ohio where all the cool kids live.

That is correct, not sure about the cool kids unless you mean it is getting colder out.

I think she’s referring to the fact that she lives in Ohio too

Here are the Atlantiks

And the Blue Plus OR3 bars they are on the new DIM drivers

And the OR4 bars controlled by an Osix. There are 2 x reef day, 2 x Sky Blue and 2 x UV

Hey Styx, are you still using kalk and CaRX? Or are you supplementing in a different way now?

Are all your alk/cal needs met by this?

I use both, yes, and all of my demand is met. At this point, essentially all of my top off runs through the Kalk reactor in order to keep up with my alk demand (which is sky high). I run the CaRx at 1 drop per sec @ ph ~6.5 - 6.6, then run the effluent through a 2nd chamber containing dolomite to raise the ph. This not only supplements Cal, but adds magnesium (which I no longer test for), too.

Good morning, Heathens and happy Thursday!
