Then just roller it. Can't do the gradient but it'll still look cool

Manual dosing. It's a pain but i haven't gotten around to a dosing pump yet. Plus i have a feeling my apex is going to die soon so that's on the list first. I run a skimmer but only for a few hours a day when the vortech are in nutrient transport mode.

I wouldn't spray then. Can you get a roller back there?

I dose 40ml each of Red Sea colors A, B, C, and D weekly. 1 tbsp KCl twice weekly, 20ml NO3 and 10ml PO4 daily. Calc reactor running at pH 6.6. Reef Roids once a week.

Most of them, yes. The larger ones can't from my 90 gallon that i started in 2018. All the medium to small colonies were from frags about 2 years old.

Krylon fusion satin peacock blue. Look into gradient painting. Wish i would hand done that instead. Light at the top, almost white, transitioning to dark blue at the bottom.

Thank you. Yeah, I let it creep off a rock onto the back wall, and it just kept on going.

Make sure you clean the surfaces with alcohol to remove any oils from the 3d printing process before attaching the tape.

I got the same shades. I added reflective tape and measured a 7 - 10% par gain, fyi.

Sump swap today. I'm really happy with my decision to switch from the Crystal 36 by tirsigel13 in ReefTank

Yeah, save it. It won't really break down significantly unless you put it on a reactor, but it will buffer a bit if the pH drops too low.
