Ai  prime has lights spectrum range even for freshwater plants? I'm using maxspec and they separate lights models for marine and fresh.

I like it more Blue to bring out the colors. I was not really driving for plant growth but more for appearance. 

Always wanted an Aqua illumination and I like the user app interface.

Preview. Still waiting on the delivery of my Skimmer and auto doser. 

Got to pack the wires and stuff. Still messy. 

Will probably start a new thread once everything and my pair of clowns are in!

Hahaha want to imitate the wave motion of the sea so had to get left and right side.

Read a lot of good reviews wrt to the laminar flow from the maxspect gyre and Razali from De Aquatic was recommending this to me. So just grab and try. 

In this photo the power is only at 20% max. I played around and seems like 40% gradual pulse, 2 secs interval and anti sync mode for the pump B seems ideal to what I want to get. 

Only when the SPS starts going in when the water is ready then I will know whether too much flow.

Maxspect gyre is a good wavemaker..I m surprised that there is no sand storm yea haha..excited to see ur tank filled with SPS yea..

[AloysiusMun]

The skimmer will only arrive first week of Feb. Damn.... I just got to be patient with this.

How much you got your clown? Can share with us your AI setting?

Bought the pair from finns factory. You can message them from FB and get a quote from them. I felt that it was a fair price as they were willing to pair them up for me and hold for a month.

Currently at 25% output all channels for around 3 odd hours. One hour ramp up before that and 1.5hours ramp down after at 18-20k setting.

Was running at 50% before and I think my pink stylo and Dino digi got a little burnt, started to get quite pale.

Still acclimatising. Not looking for explosive growth I just want beautiful colors. Read that all they need is 4 hours of good light.

Going to go slow as with all things SPS.

I hope so too! Currently all well. Really trying hard to hold back on Ultra purchases from Cedric.

The SPS are coloring up further now. Fingers crossed.

Po4 at around 0.03 (Hana meter) tested one week back.Targeting below 0.05.

Duplicate post.

They seem to be colouring up in my tank. Colours a little pale as my no3 is undetectable. Taken using iPhone 6. Tried to adjust the Colours to reflect what it looks closes to the naked eye.

Hope things in this reef stay stable and they Color up nicely!

This Aloysius ah is a very fast learner , only need to explain once... can catch every ball I throw at him

[AloysiusMun]

Here we go! (Gotta figure out how to upload HD next) 

SPS exclusively from our one and only @cedricang. Everytime step into his den, there's no stepping out empty handed. 

Equipment mostly from @dr evil!

Hahaha I try my best to absorb like a sponge. Every mistake for SPS is very emotionally costly!
