    I’m anxious to see how that fixture looks over the lagoon. I have that tank and an ai prime. I’m not happy with the lighting at all. I really like the primes features, just don’t feel that it’s enough alone.

    Me too. I’m primarily a T5 guy, but the leds just made sense for such a small tank. Now here I am adding T5s 🤣

     

    I’ll be running 4 actinic blue from reefbrite (basically the same as ATI blue +) with the radion. Hopefully they don’t prematurely burn out like the ones that Bpb had

    I have never actually done that with a clam.  Seems like you have enough nutrients in the main tank to feed the clam... 

    That goni is awesome.  I think I may have seen it at the Dome.  

    I need to grab some frags at some point, from ya.

    Ty, Florida is crazy with Acros. Just think of all the huge LFS that are there. Plus most hobbyists don’t sell at ridiculous prices to other locals.

    Hell, even stores give sick deal to the locals.

    The biggest problem down there is that there is not a lot of club activity and it’s hard to get people involved. Not sure why, it just doesn’t really work. The only thing that does work well are local frag swaps.

    I’ve just always been a fan of the high contrast well trimmed fruit stand look. Solid colors observing the color wheel principle. Two tones are fine and I won’t turn my nose up at most things to be honest. I’m not that much into the name game. Yet.

    Sean though. I hope everything transitions well. Get that upgrade going. That 25 will run out of room quick ha ha. Of course you have pearl berry. To be honest. Even if a fake looks as good as the original, it’s just as well. Pearl berry isn’t that expensive anymore. Is WWC the real deal or are they faking ?

    I hope so too Jonathan. Time will tell, but you know what else I am planning to upgrade a little.

    WWC shouldn’t be faking, but I guess you never know. No way to really tell anymore since ORA lost the mother years ago

    Yeah I gave up on the Walt Disney. Especially now that he’s in ATX lol. I was moderately excited that a local had one but truth be told the WD isn’t anywhere close to my holy grail acro. It looks real nice under blue LEDs I’ll give you that.

    It does look pretty under blues

    Haha, I'll remember to rib him about the Walt Disney.

    What was the scene like in S. Florida? Lots of sticks? People into mushrooms? Zoas?


    Mostly sticks, and probably some of the best you will see as most of the shipments on the east coast go through Miami.

    I guess I don’t have a true holy grail but in general I do still prefer the classics. I aim for more of an old school high contrast tank with monochromatic or two tone acros. These acros with every color in the visual spectrum look great as frags under LEDs and macro shots but don’t do as much from across the room know what I mean. I still am jonesing for a true real deal pearl berry colony

    I’ll add. Once the 150 is set up I intend it to be a 10 year + tank. Therefore once the sniff test starter corals pass, on of the earliest additions I would love to get ahold of is a real deal purple monster. Long term investment


    I have the real deal Pearlberry too [emoji23]. It’s too small to frag though

    Ah cool. I know Bpb got that sweet new tank but didn't know it was your old one. Jonathan has been on this club forever so its always fun to see these connections.

    I love it, take everything but I'm keeping my precious sticks!

    Looking forward to you being in the area and being a bigger part of the club. There are some good folks here and a growing collection of acro lovers too.

    No one touches my sticks haha.  Jonathan wanted me to cut the WD and I couldnt bring myself to do it yet! Haha

    I am excited to be part of the club.  Coming from South Florida, I feel like I have been deprived for almost 2 years being in this hobby and living in BCS.  Much more of a group over in this area!
