Tank Series - Adding another Algae

We added Chaeto to the refugium this week, and man is it look good! We'll keep track of the growth and see if we can tell how the tank reacts to the new inhabitant. =D If all else fails with the grape culerpa, maybe we can start selling as the delicacy green caviar like in Japan!

Algaes in the Refuge:
Chaeto
Fern Culerpa
Grape Culerpa
Luarencia
Gracilaria
Ulva Lettuce
Unknown Algae

Tank Series - Testing Par

Sorry we're a day late guys! Under the weather, but let's get to it and test some Par with the Apogee meter! Please keep in mind this is more or less going to give a good reference for what I have going, and show just how easy it is to use this meter. Technically my arm/hand probably got in the way for the reads since it has a wide lens to get the readings. . But we have some great readings and my corals seem to be loving it! . Don't forget to go sign up for the giveaway before it ends!!

Tank Series - Par results for the Reefbrite XHO Lighting

Take a lookie here at what par we're getting with just 4 48" XHO reefbrites. This testing method definitely is not lab grade, but it will give us a great idea of what we're looking at with this particular setup, and I'm pretty happy with it!
