    It's just amazing, I just discover your method last night. On my side I use calcium reactor for my 380 gal reef tank. Did you have negative effects at the beginning when you adjust for the proper dosing of kalk? From what I understand with your method, I should disconnect my calcium reactor and use only kalk for a better result? Do you add kalk at night only, all time or twice a day? Is there a danger for calcium precipitation if you add too much too fast? Thanks for your advice

      Hey Rob! Thanks for watching the video. They have done many things right with this light, and i think it will bring positive changes to many lights moving forward.

    Sold mine for reefi, colors of the straton is ugly to yellowish l and results are more bad than my previous radions, or orphek. Und reefi the corals colored again better. And they are way to expensive for what they do. They lack also of pop and the blue is not nice, to much power in the white and not enough in the blue. The only good things is the design and not strong side glare. In Germany man sell it again

    • @Reefscom
      @Reefscom 14 днів тому

      Hmmm, that's strange because it was pretty blue to me when I cranked these up 100 percent intensity on all channels to test the overall spectrum. On spectrumeter, it registered a bit more bluer hues, low in reds, yellow, and I think this was so because they don't have any warm white led diodes in them. Either way, the good thing is that you have choices to go with if the colors are not up to your liking. I'm glad to hear that you have found your light in reefi. I have heard many good things about them.

    I have a yellow Scopas Tang. It was created by breeding a yellow tang with a Scopas. Anyone want to buy him for 10k? 😊

      I expected something similar in numbers after yurple going for 10000 retail. Collectors are gathering these hybrids, it seems like. I think in time, it will come down to more manageable amounts.

    Wonder if he has or will try captive breeding of long nose black tangs, Zebrasoma rostratum? Although some of these fish are out of my budget, I am glad more fish are being captive bred. Not all captive bred fish are expensive I personally have captive bred cosmic gobies from biota and love them. Plus I had never heard of them prior to biota releasing them. Thanks for sharing as it’s nice to see such advancements being made in the hobby.

      That would be absolutely amazing. I also think and hope that as the fish gets more common, the price will go down. Look at Gramma dejongi (Cuban basslet), for example, it used to sell for 2000 or more, and now it sells around 500 while the wild counterparts are sold for 2 to 3000 USD in Europe. Honestly, i think that Zebrasoma roastratum is a doable project since the Zebrosoma is pretty much road mapped with purple and yellow. I absolutely love how things are progressing in our hobby. As more and more breeders get involved, I hope to see the majority of the fish that import have a captivebred counterpart option in my lifetime. Wishful thinking, I know 😆
