Stunning FTS. Absolutely gorgeous.

Glad to hear you were able to ramp down the fans and decrease the noise. It never occurred to me to check the temperature of the air exiting the fixture. I always ran my active cooling at full blast and the noise from the fans was quite irritating.

Thanks stones. I have been lucky with my tank.

Since I turned down the fans, the fixture is a lot more bearable. Glad I can share that with you.

Nice bro gotta stop by and check out the new light combo soon!

Don't be jelly man.....use my method of kiss. Look at your tank once a week and if everything is doing good I don't even bother with water change. lol

Since I lost almost all my corals its not a current problem but how do you prevent warfare and the associated RTN? Do you trim constantly?

I am usually not too concerned about coral warfare, survival of the fittest is my model. I know it sounds kinda harsh but sometimes that is the only way to go. However, I do try to remove some corals when it's shading out others on the lower level which I find can cause rtn due to lack of light. Other than that, just let them work it out amounts themselves.

What we really want to know is if you trim on a regular basis... LOL
