Smite's UNS 75g Peninsula

Wow! Love the new clean look, especially the white light shots. The whole thing really flows with your furniture.

Thanks, it was the biggest effort I've put into trying to make a stand fit the rest of the room. I'm happy with how it came out. I swear the paint just cured hahahah. Nice and hard now but took forever.

Damn that’s nice! Fish under white light unbeatable. Do the Radions have a “Feed Mode”? The AIs do and it switches to all white, great to check out the fish during feeding.

Not that I'm aware of but that's pretty slick!

I need to look into the functions of my lights more. I basically set it and left it. I feel like they ramp down and up for like 2 hours, need to figure it out.

Thanks man! That phyto is definitely playing a major role in keeping the coral healthy and with the algae battle too. My tank is still 0-0 and I’ve got good color, no dinos.

Have you had any breakthroughs with your hair algae control? I still saw a few patches in the video but only because I was looking for them. Overall it looks pretty well under control.

Any specific control methods you found to be more effective than others?

Mostly manual removal and I also feel keeping my nutrients low is doing the most for the tank. I feel like even at 0-0 my corals are as happy as ever, maybe slightly pale but still full of color. I think that's where the phytoplankton/oysterfeast dosing comes it. I get the phyto from OGFrenchHorn and I think that could also be helping since one strain reduces silicates. I've also been staying on top of my RO/DI system and running silicabuster cartridges changing at 0 TDS.

From there it's clean up crew. It took some time for my tomini to stop harrassing my lawnmower blenny and my small sailfin finally started to pick at the rocks as well. My seahare is still kicking but I think I'm going to pass him on to another reefer here soon, he's gotta be running out of food now. Keeping a close eye on it.

We ate dinner late tonight and my wife requested I kill the blue lights. I put the G5’s all cool white. I gotta say it’s funny how the more classic pieces all attract the eye. The fish look amazing under this spectrum as well.

Team Halide!!!

I think about it all the time hahah. These blues are doing pretty good too.

Down to the last little bit of algae! I'm getting some film on the glass daily and both coral and fish are looking very happy.

Thanks! I checked your thread, but haven't seen an update for a bit. Looks like a great build.

Sounds good, come check it out in the next few months. It should be starting to fill in nice by then.

Just after lights out i cranked up the whites to see polyp extension. They're reaching for that phyto and oysterfeast

I like how those colonies over hang on the rock work nice!
