Taken with a Nikon D-70S, not white balanced, The frag is 1 1/4", 16" from frag to solaris lens, top one is 50% white and 100% blue daylights,. The second is 100% Blue and 100% white daylight. Fragged yesterday, 1-2-07, well lets see what happens.

Can't really tell what the frag is...kinda looks like a lil blue tort.

Yes its an ORA Blue Tort, doing great too, a turbinaria frag has almost healed a gash its had with algae in it for months. My hair algae on the rocks in most areas is turning white/clear. ORA Marshall Island is getting dark violet. Lots of good things happening, will see. I'm running 17 hours now, with no adverse affects, was running Northern Hemi, default settings, then timer, daylight white 50%, now 100%. I think growth is cranking on SPS, and algae are starting to have a stressful time. Don't know yet if because of light or low nutrients, got a bunch of snails ordered, but they can live off detritus. Will go to Southern Hemi/default settings soon and leave there to see what happens. Very happy with the light and PFO's customer service to date.

Are you running any of the cloud cover simulation?

 

[owsi]

I was, but stopped, will go to full auto tonight, SouthWest just called my new fixture is in. Will swap out tonight and set at Southwern Hemisphere, and 8x a day cloud, 50% white daylights for a while to see what happens. I love the light already and now all the toys will work too.

It went thru one cloud cover already, gonna leave factory defaults for now(5 cloud covers). Looking good
