Pretty sure the panels were from Rona on Macleod and Southland, there was a whole bunch of different patterns too. It was the "last chance" clearance section though, so you may have to hit up a couple locations to find enough.

Main tank is doing well, pretty pleased with all the changes and new stuff. Adding corals has halted a bit cause I want to at least attempt quarantining and the frag tank is having a tough go.

After moving everything out and the subsequent hair algae explosion caused the nutrients to hit a hard 0.0 for nitrate and phosphate. All the lps frags bleached out big time but seem able to recover, most of the "back-up" acros rtn'd, but a few toughed through it. Being extras, it didn't bother me toooo bad, still sucks when corals die though.

Added a little Burrfish to help bring nutrients up, wanted to try and keep something unusual. Jury still seems to be out on whether they bother corals or not, I imagine inverts are a no go, but it doesn't seem to care so far.

Ain't got no job, ain't got no money, ain't got no frags... but I did trade some junk for an old dslr. Frag tank still needs even more fish or nutrients in it, but main tank is chugging along nicely.

In case anyone was wondering if you can get rid of clove polyps with a three month blackout and re-curing in a rubbermaid tub... you cant. I will accept them, although it appears their numbers stay down with lower nutrients, so we'll see how regular maintenance works out.

Just did auto settings on camera and a quick auto balance on pc and it looks pretty good already. Leds are on a gradual sunrise/sunset so I'd say this is about 6500-8000k white for these.

It came with a macro lens so I can fart around with getting better focus shots as I go, and maybe some extreme mode led blues

Getting better, some fluorescent colors seem like they overexpose even after running it through filters. Must be a setting on the camera (or operator), feels like the usual problems taking pics under our bluey lights. Tried some 10k-ish pics.
