Well my biggest news is that I still have a living tank I've been out of town for over a week with my knows-nothing-about-fishtanks husband caring for the tank. Yikes! But I had Oceans of Austin stop by this morning for a water change and to test the water, check on things, etc, and it sounds like everything is great! It'll be another week before I return.
I LOVE the light! Will, is your light still in the box? You are very patient if so! Things are growing and looking well so far. It's been only a month and a half, but nothing has lost any color yet. That's one thing I worried about. I haven't ramped up the intensity like I had planned because things look well where it's at. It's sitting at 44% right now. The lunar cycle is really cool. I think it has something to do with my sun corals spawning soon after setting the light up.
Thanks for asking! I'll update with the new additions and the status of things when I return. If I still have a tank.....keeping my finger's crossed
