With the frags colouring up like that I can't imagine there is anything "sub-par" about those lights at all.

What is that last one? The colour of it in the Jan 20 shot is giving me goose bumps.

So Kien, no fancy Zeovit reactor and additives? LOL

I am using LightRoom but cannot get such a nice coloration. But I am working I need a BioPellets reactor now

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what the answer to this question is. I just do the usual. Water changes (every 2 weeks), skimmer, lighting (MH+T5), GFO+Carbon, BioPellets, Alk and Calc on a doser. Top down photos help too



You're looking at my frag tank. All 150g of it Seriously though, it's amazing and cool to see how some frags can take off like a rocket, while others pretty much do squat.

ok then...

Perchance do you recall what vendor or hobbyist you acquired it from, so that I might attempt to inquire about availability of any others? Please and thank you.

There was a major frag buying frenzy in the fall/early winter from a lot of different vendors.. I believe this one may have come as a frag pack from a vendor out east who happens to like to "frag a lot". A lot of his frags came in virtually colourless or brown but have mostly all coloured up now.

Nope. The only thing that's added is two-part (alk and calc) from a doser. Although, I guess I do add bioPellets as well when they deplete every 6-8 months.
