A very "fancy" addition to the wolf pack. Where can one purchase such a ornate fish?

While I do frequent Triton Marine, this guy came from another store I also frequent, Salty Critter.

A couple people have asked about my AI Sol settings. Here are the current settings I run based on my scientific * research (BluLED_9_7 is the Royal Blue channel):

Royal Blue:


Blue:


White:


*In this case scientific is my gut feeling and for my viewing pleasure

You run your whites pretty high it looks. That's good to see, so many ppl are afraid to run them. I know you likely built up to that intensity over time though. I keep mine around 30% for now and want to get up a bit higher eventually.

@Wspangler keeps PMing me about my Orphek Atlantik V3 settings so I figured I would post my settings.

The Orphek Atlantik V3 is 19" over the waterline of my frag tank

Here are the channel makeups:



Channel 1:


Channel 2:


Channel 3:

I hope that helps everyone and helps reduce the number of PM's @Wspangler sends me on a daily

Planning to upgrade v3 to v3+?

Planning to upgrade v3 to v3+?

no, I have an android phone and I do not have any need for additional light intensity/par on the frag tank

Cool. I just got my 3+ and I love it, going to setup a tank thread soon.

 

[Renton777]

Updated Atlantik settings.......someone pointed out that I was starting my ramp up at midnight all the way to 7am. I cannot believe I did that. I also cannot believe that by doing that for the past month or two I didn't tick off the corals in the frag tank.

Red Saddled Anthias hanging out with Captain Barbossa the borbonius anthias this morning

 

[Bratyboy2]

Is that a purple turbinaria behind the blotched anthias?

Its a "scroll" coral, not sure if those are turbinaria or not. Its not as purple as it appears in that picture, but it does have a purple tone.

 

[Bratyboy2]

Very nice. Anthias look great btw
