It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride but all in all I'm pretty stocked with how things are turning out. With in the first few days most of my zoas were really angry with the swap and showed signs of decay. After around the week mark everyone is looking MUCH better, lots of morphing taking place because of the spectrum change. We also swapped a few vortechs around, thinks it's almost time to get rid of my LPS and stick to zoas/SPS.

Can't beat the color or versatility of LED's, time will tell if they can successfully support our system I might even be tempted to grab 3 more if things continue to go well.

Nice switch buddy, glad those amazing zoas are taking a liking to the led switch. How are the sps looking? Or are they still under the halide? I am switch from halide to ai LEDs but still a bit worry about the reaction I am gonna get from the sps. Just wanna see what it opinion is on that.

Most of the SPS are currently under the halides but stuff in the middle of the tank gets light from both sources. A majority of my SPS are doing very well but a few colonies are browned out.

I also realized that I had the pump for my calcium reactor BACKWARDS!!! For 6 freaking months!!! Talk about blond moment, we were going through CO2 at an alarming rate, now the recirculating happens in the correct direction so the pH drops much faster.

I have fake American beer in the fridge because it's what my step dad drinks, bring over some Lucky and then were talking !

Purchased two new zoa colonies after I took photos today and lucked out on another sunset & red planet colony. Went a little photo crazy.

Where is Waldo? More specifically where are the Mini Waldo's?

I think your pics are looking a lot better under the radions. Not quite so psychedelic but truer and very vibrant. When I'm ready for zoas I need to pay you a visit I think =)
