Hi Ucantwin
The PH is 8.05 @ 6,00pm and in the morning at 8.00am its 7.96 it is monitored with an aquamedic computer. The KH @ 6.00pm is 8.10 and is kept stable using the KH guardian . I have to keep an eye on the calc/mg and supplement as and when with a doser over night now using ATI essentials (last few weeks ) I will get another icp test done in the next few weeks and follow recommendations .
Bill

Thanks its seeing the benefit of thinning out ive got the top to do yet but I will take it slowly so not to make a b***s of it. Its showing the best colours for ages I have been here before then equipment failures set it back so I'm trying to keep on top of it.Hope you and Andrews tanks are doing well .

Hi Matt
The large echinata is wild blue tip then to the right there are a few small frag pieces then the 3 in line front to back. I don't do fancy names only shapes and colours.

front - suharsonoi
middle - gemifera
back - granulosa

A couple of nice pieces to the left with daft names I will post a pic of one.
Bill

Hi Bill
Tank looks amazing .
Can you comment more on Atlantik V4 .
I have 72”-36” -24” tank and currently using 10 T5 with Mitras LED bars and looking to jump into LEDs technology . Based on my size i was looking into Radions G4 and i need at least 6 units to cover my 95% SPS tank do you think with Atlantik i can get away with 4 and i get full coverage from front to back?
Thank you

Mike

I have 2 x V3 across the front and a V4 converted to V3 spectrum to match plus a radion g3 on the back and my tank is only 54 x 30 x 30 , my honest opinion is no you would need 6 ( if its 36''W) if it was me and how would you hang them???.I don't like radions but that's just my personal preference and for your tank either V3,V3+ or V4 which have a different spectrum so it would need research.

Hey Bill. I really like the new orphek lights.
Just wondering, how is the user interface for programming spectrums and intensities etc..
I’m familiar with Ecotech and AI which are both pretty simple and user friendly.. how does orphek compare?
I’d consider these leds somewhere down the road..
