600 Gallon Upgrade Build

what lighting program are you running with the kessil? are you using a preprogrammed profile or your own?
I am using my own. The controller only has a 6 point setting and I'm running a 12 hour cycle with 6 hours at 60-70% color and 70% intensity at the moment. I really didn't take time to see what % color I do like. The instructions wasn't that much of help when it came to that so I pretty much had to eyeball it. With the help of Sonic we just chose the color and max intensity for each point and placed it on acclimation mode starting out at 40% intensity. I'd have to go home as look at the settings again.
 
I thought you were going to make a time lapse on your tank. Those new additions would be nice to see in a time lapse and how they react to morning light and all.

I can do that on my phone. I wanted to do a 50/50 side by side shot but I wish I could do it with a real camera. And a real computer.
 
How did you know I am in a retirement home?
And yes it is time I quit hijacking Wayne's thread. :beachbum:
Hijack all you want sir. Beautiful as your tank is I believe you and some very special people who also have the knowledge and beautiful tank have and deserved that right.
 
Just a small update before the weekend.

My fifth, I say, i say again, my fifth reef dart pump failed on me a week ago. I'm totally done with them. Also because I had a slower pump running my system I am sure it caused 4 mini colonies to their demise. I fragged two of them only to so far have one of each frag survive. I had to glue some colonies back into their spots. My tangs or Mexican turbo snails love to reorganize.

Also as I found out on the same day my feed pump to my protein skimmer and carbon reactor failed so those had to be replaced too. I'm sure glad pump week is not a rest show.

I'm going to have to order the extensions for my Kessil goosenecks on the 109 gallon. I also adjusted the settings on the controller to more of a blue setting and raised the intensity from 65 to 75 percent and placed the lights on another 14 day acclimation mode. I believe that will be the highest setting I will run.

I also reorganized the wiring for the new pumps and the lighting.

Most of the new additions have settled in and showing some polyp extension (which is why i need a real camera) and some are slowly coloring back. Other than that if or when I go back to sleep and wake up I will do my weekly testing and see what did or did not go out of wack.
 
I was told that it's out of season for H. Magnifica. I wanted to use it to cover the pot that my breeding clowns live in. I don't think it's going to happen.
