Nice... what will you use for backup? Sucks I don’t really have a backup if my chiller fails which has caused some issues.
I turned off the feed from the house for now. If the unit fails, then I can open it up, which will buy me time. Plus, I have a much larger window unit for my home if my hvac were to fail. I can always use that in a pinch, but I’d have to cut a properly sized piece of plywood to house it.Nice... what will you use for backup?

Not done with them yet. Once I get them finished then I’ll post pics. Too embarrassed at the moment hahaCool, looking good Cody. How’s the tanks in the room looking?
Yeah that was actually Dennis @fjwaquarium recommendation. Get the old female out. That worked well because the two new ones were hiding for dear life and she was all over the place trying to bully literally everything in the tank. It was crazy how a light switch turned in her brain and she went from happy community fish to local bully.Nice! Quick thinking!
Thanks bud. I already had the design laid out from the trap I made for the Christmas party. Just had to grab some acrylic that was lying around, plug in my computer, and hit “go”. Well, I took the “GO IN HERE” caption with an arrow pointing down off of the door, but the dimensions were the same hahaGlad you got her out. That trap looks very professional, especially considering it was put together quickly.
The last time I had this issue was in my 60 cube. I added 10 blue chromis, damn near doubled my feeding, and everything looked gorgeous within a week. The other option is the way you went. I only cut one hour back on my t5s but I think I might cut one or two more out.Looking good Cody. I'm also dealing with some light coloration in certain corals. Not all just about 3 of them. I started running my T5HO again for 4 hrs a day, and cut the LED's to 10 hrs a day on acclimation mode so cut power by 30%. I also started to feed more heavily, dose potassium, and trace. As I had low potassium from my ICP test. Hopefully ill notice a change. Let me know how it goes for you. I'm trying not to change to much at once.
Oh yeah? Run that experience yourself?Looking good. If you don't want two red PC rainbows, put one in much lower light and it will turn green.

I might have to try that. I know under heavy lighting it turns very red. Maybe it should be placed a little lower in the tank to bring out some other colors.Yes. When I got mine from Voooooo, it was red. After a while on my sand bed, it turned totally green, a real pretty shade of almost emerald green. Now that it's mounted a little ways up, it is mostly green with some hints of yellow/orange. With the right fine tuning, you could probably have five colonies of this coral in various places and they'd all look different.
