Smite's Stout CDA - 205G

Went to 400w yesterday. Hopefully it all goes well. Harder to get accurate pictures under these old 20k Ushio's I threw in until new lamps show up.
AOA Granulosa
ASD Doomsday
Dang Chromis! Acropora
Tenuis finally doing something. Downside to mari frags, take forever to get their butt in gear.
Spath from Tongs
Another spath from tongs. Also two tone so far, pretty cool.
Tongs Speciosa.
Probably just end up pink but pretty cool looking for now millepora
4 loko nearly doubled in growth.....so now it's the size of my pinky nail!
ICP still shows nickel but the molybdenum came way down after all my water changes. Not sure how to take that but I guess I need to keep hunting for now.
Trying to decide if I'm going to stick with the 14k hamiltons. These 20k are much more blue and blend better with my bars on at the same time. I may try Hamiltons 20k.

Thanks!
The nickel showed up with high moly and a little bit of Tin. Tin is gone and nickel is 7 ug/l; moly is 17 and tin is now zero again.
i found a cracked tunze cord at the housing so I suspect that for now.
my scop is still super pissed, the damage may have been done but hopefully it comes back?
thanks thay speciosa is cool but a little saturated looking in that picture. The bluer halide with bars makes things a little crazy in pics.

I had my Hydros waveengine vs 1 just stop working last night. It was a pain in the but pulling out pumps and putting other pumps in today and going back and forth with Carlos.
That AOA Granulosa is sure pretty I was just at AGE over the weekend. Is that where you got the speciosa frag? I noticed they had two different frags of speciosa.

Not a huge fan of Carlos and CoralVue so far. It's a new vs1 that's 2 months old. It didn't work new out of the box. Coralvue had me send it back to get a flash update. I was a little bummed out and tried to get them to let me pay upward to get a v2. They have very limited supplies of their waveengines at the time so they had zero interest in helping. I don't think they would've helped if they had the supplies. Completely different experience dealing with them compared to Ecotech. On a side note the vendor I bought it from gave me $100 back for all the hassle.
The frag at AGE did look similar.

My kids crumpled up my orange filter I had been using for years so I haven't been taking many blue pictures.
Today I attempted to shoot without a filter. Only some pieces show through the blue. I shot with an open window near by to help balance out the light a little and that seemed to help pull out that over saturation
I was able to catch the two tone on this tenuis. I'm really liking this one

Odd shot of CC Voodoo Majick but the polyps are looking awesome
