Glad to see you are keeping this thread alive! It's been fun to tag along and see what's happened with the piece, you got some good things going here man! And you're making a lot of us jealous, or impatient, or both.

(it's both for me)

Hah, I get impatient and jealous looking at other peoples red planets! I've had this one almost five months now, not sure if its growing slow or fast, but seems like it's taking forever...

Made some changes this month, switched my last two stock bulbs for ati purple plus and aquablue special. Also switched from Kent super buffer dkh to baking soda, it's so much cheaper. Also stopped using amino acids. Growth is looking good so far with the changes, will update with pic on July first.

Thanks, yep it is now in its new location, up high an in front for good viewing.

It's been another month, another new pic! Almost forgot to take one today, snapped this just before the lights went out. Not as blue as previous pics because I changed some bulbs out. New pic was taken under 2x Blue +, 1x Purple +, and 1x Aquablue special.

There is a bit of growth going on behind the large part in the front of the pics, will have to try a top down shot sometime soon.

[israel.kendall]

Kendall what lighting are you using??

I'm using two two bulb 54wT5 fixtures, for a total of 4 bulbs. Bulbs are 2x Blue+, 1x Aquablue special, 1x Purple +. One fixture is a coralife and the other is a Deep Blue Solarmax.

Great job btw

Thanks! I don't know the par, as for flow I'd say it's moderate. It's in a 55 gallon with a Secce Voyager 1 powerhead on the left side, Koralia 3 on the right side, and an Emperor Biowheel 350 that dumps out right on top of the Red Planet. Biowheels and filter media have been removed, some rubble in the back, bag of carbon, GFO in there.
