Blue Cardinal - This is one of my favorites. The tips glow, and you can see them across the room in daylight spectrum. A really stunning piece that I cannot wait to see as a full colony.

UC Strawberry Shortcake - Almost lost this piece during last years crash. I tiny little frag held on. It is looking good these days.

Thanks John! I have been meaning to check to see how your system is going. Did your pieces recover?

BC Aquatic-Man Table - This one was hanging on by a polyp after last year's crash. It is starting to show some good color and growth.

Love Nanas. That was the first purple Acro I ever bought.

Me too! It's a shame you don't see these more often. They are beautiful. This is one of the OG's which is why I really wanted it. Seems to be growing well.

Orange Polyp Tort - Just waiting for the orange poylps to show themselves.

Would you stop. I’m trying to get other projects done around the house and you’re making me want to drop them to get my tank upgrade done so I can add more Acros.

Well, that doesn't sound like a bad thing, though. I do have a problem.... I need help.

Changed out the black box LEDs for T5s. I changed over 200 diodes within 6 months and the spectrum still seemed off. PAR was good but quality of light was poor. I replaced them to T5s and now the spectrum looks great. Also, replaced the halide bulbs.

I'm going to guess 3:1 blue+ Purple+. Am I right?

Close. Good guess! Three Blue+ and one Coral+.

Nice

I used to run that but switched the C+ to a P+, just looks better to me but I'm straight T5 with some blue led strips, no halide.
