    Thanks, I do too enjoy the Cyphastrea. I recently moved it to a lower flow in my tank, it really open up now.

    I had a tyree that I think I over-flowed :-( I really like your whole system. I think the most amazing part is your equipment and electrical organization due to my lazy ocd tendencies.

    I use to have a Kenya Tree, it was in high flow and would spawn all over my tank. Every morning I'd get up and pluck out the baby Kenya Trees.

    Thanks for the nice comments about my tank. :) It's been a lot of effort getting every piece of technology in that little stand.

    So after talking to Norg I am deciding to change my photo period and the way my lights dim.

    Before I dimmed my White LEDs first then my Blue LEDs now I plan to dim both White & Blue at the same time to create a more realistic Sunrise/Set.

    I did some playing around with programming and made a small 2 min sunset test.. I plan to have my Sunrise be total of 3 hours long and sunset be 3 hours long.

    Planned Photo Period:
    8-11 Sunrise
    11-7 Max Photo Period
    7-10 Sunset
    10-12 Moon
    12-8 No Light

    Here is a small high speed video of what it will look like with Sunset.




    Let me know what you guys think...
