My files were too large but big shout out to Drexel for helping me dial in these lights. I was way low. Looking forward to how the tank reacts.

I think things will really start to pop soon. Everything is looking great! Glad to help out. My son really liked the BCI’s, thanks for giving him the tour. Some of those are killer.

BKChem Creme de la Creme under all bars and Kessils. This thing is really popping. Hopefully I can make a colony out of it.
AOA Pink Panther ( I think thats what it was labeled) Bali type acro. Not quite this saturated in pink but a very nice piece.
TGC Creamsicle
Some nice blastos, don't recall the name but withstanding some pretty solid flow
RR RobinHood. Probably getting a little too much light to be full colored. It's base has some nice colors to it, Just couldn't get an angle to capture them.

Love the look of these. Purple center is much better than the typical green center in my opinion.
Quick comparison between the Tropic Sun and Reef Crest Quanta Pro as I swap out the TS for the RC.
TS - Metal Halide replica in the 10-12k range. Pictures don't do them 100% justice but you can see the small Oregon Tort on the right popping and the chromis look amazing.
ReefCrest Quanta Pros - Great stand alone bar for daylight. I'd guess it at 16k. Matches Kessils on 50% color very well.
Side by side - RC on left, TS on right. TS not as yellow as the camera makes it out to be but does have a tinge of yellow/green. Still pops well
RC x 3 / OGP x2 / A500x @ 50% color and 75% intensity - looks crazy blue on camera but in person it has a nice full Radium look to it. Couldn't be happier. I really liked the TS and so did the tank but it didn't quite blend with the kessils. It only happened around areas where the kessils were shaded. Now it's very uniform throughout.

Thank you. I really like them too. The center is darker in person, gives a great contrast. I like the shape of the heads on this one too, seems a little different than the standard red green blasto or at least the ones that I had in the past.
Thanks man, blending is perfect. Tank is fairly blue but I'll get used to it hahaf
I have look everywhere the last couple of weeks for blastos that look like yours. You recall where you got them?
Oh man, it's been a while. I'll have to look at my old build thread, from my 75g UNS peninsula.
I want to say I got them from a vendor at a coral show but not 100% sure on that. I don't normally shop for LPS, so I tend to pick those things up at places like that where they just grab my attention. If I had a way to remove and frag it I would, but it's locked in there good.

This is my vote for TOTM, even though we don't have that here lol
100%
