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

Are we going to see 12 AI SOLs for sale soon?
Or do you just add that on to the existing lighting?

I don't need anymore intensity trust me. All my LPS needs to put on sun tan lotion.

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.

And the little shortcake that is finally growing up a couple weeks time lapsed since last pic:
