The new Hydra 52 was added yesterday afternoon. It really brightens up the left side. At first glance I am now unsure if I need to add at third a final 52 to the set up. Right now to my eyes the colour is perfect, the intensity is just right. Unfortunately I don't know how to properly represent this in photos, yet.

The lighting now goes:
SOL Blue | Hydra 52 | SOL Blue | Kessil 360w | SOL Blue | Hydra 52 | SOL Blue

Before


After






The rock condos; this is the left side of the tank; its full of caves.

Default The LAST big upgrade

I actually really like my lights. I love the kessil for spot lighting, e.g. for my bay of clams or plates. Its incredibly easy to use. I feel like I got a great fixture for the price and I will definitely be purchasing another in the future. For spread though and price I am pleased with my Hydras.

Eventually I do want to add two more fixtures, probably Hydra types, and kessils as needed.

My fish lately are just plumping out. I haven't added anything to my tank for awhile. I did add a fish to my QT yesterday. I'm very excited for this fish, I've wanted one for over a decade now.

My tank otherwise is just chugging along. I wouldn't mind adding a second auto feeder to my system, but its not something I really need. So in the mean time I just work at keeping my parameters where they should be while seeing how fat I can make my fish. I'd like to add more SPS, but I just can't justify the cost some of the local stores are wanting per frag right now.
