![]() Haha, it seems that we have no shortage of comedians on the forums
![]() In the past 2 weeks i cranked the lights to 100% and the little shortcake has finally decided to reach for the sky. New lights are arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to see how they look in person. Been 2 weeks since last pics and i will post new ones tomorrow when i get new lights up to show some growth from the v1 and the colors of the V2. Since the new ones are here(tomorrow) and we have 6 of the V1 units left. The remaining units will be discounted down to $160/unit until they are gone.

![]() I'm still playing round with intensity of my it2080. I've grown to really like the unit. Right now I have 15% more white at all times except an hour at dawn and one at dusk. Running the unit at maximum 55% for 6 hours and then the dawn/dusk for a total photo period of 12 hours. Been like that for over a week and my lps are loving it along with some of my sps. It appears my zoas would live at 100% or under a candle light
![]() Definitely takes some tinkering to find the right balance but It gives me an excuse to get my hands wet which I'm all for ![]() |

![]() Got new lights today and put them up. Very impressed with new model and would say due to the addition of lenses and a couple more white LEDs they are about 30-40% brighter.
Here are a few pics (they are hung a little crooked and yes, my glass is dirty). But there is a distinct difference in brightness in tank). I also need to make new brackets for the lights and move them a bit closer together since they spaced the leds out more and have a thinner outside trim and with the way i have it rigged rght now they are not evenly spaced. ![]() ![]() Coral pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the little shortcake that is finally growing up a couple weeks time lapsed since last pic: ![]()
