NINE MONTHS

As before, much happened towards the end of the month, which culminated in me purchasing the AquaBeauty 70W LED lights. You see, I still wasn't too happy with the results, or rather little to no results on the sps, after adding on the PAR38 Royal Blue LED lights to tank 2. The green digitata has almost turn a complete brown and the red digitata didn't look too promising as well. I love pocci sps but after trying more than just a couple of times with no polyps extension, I am ready to give up on them for now. 

The new LED lights addition is just a day old, so I will continue to monitor the results while waiting for the Maxspect Razor 120W LED lights. Hopefully, the sps will colour up soon. The photos show a series of photos of tank 1 taken a few weeks back and then what was taken just yesterday.
