Great video!

Seeing how effective those wave scissors are for trimming a carpet I think I need to get me some.

The tank is looking great and is clearly in very good hands

 

[Lauris]

Thanks.

Love the wave scissors. Ordered ages ceap china ones. The piece holding both oarts together just went out. DIY'ed the job and live on.lol

I am planted!

Removed Sylvania Grolux. Great bulb but in set of at least 4 or 6 others.
Noticeable difference in colors. Added 5y old Juwel Day light at 6500k rate.
Warmer for a change..

Real nice. It's a good thing your Anubias doesn't get covered in GSA even though its the nearest plant to the light. I really like that music track too. Ol' skool garage jammin' sorta feel.

 

[Lauris]

thanks.. I had a hard times with anubias. I started with two small portions 18 months ago and suffered a lot of BBA, GSA and GHA with them. It took for me more than a year cutting it back with no mercy until the new growth came back more resistant to high light conditions with every time. I do believe i managed to adopt it to these conditions as in every setup they were and still are exposed to strong intensity of light

I am planted!

Quick update.
New light arrived. First impressions - So far the best choice for the budged I had.
Love controls, energy efficiency, build quality and size. Still need to play around
with settings do get just to and adjust. Did some quick video with "dawn to dusk".
I guess the blue'ish tone that spikes in there is "cloud simulation"



Likable colors it can deliver. Will see how my plants will adjust to it

Hi Lauris

The new light looks cooler, don't you think so? More or less what happens when you go from T5s to AquaSky... More whitish.
Regarding the light spreading I would say it is more directional than your previous light, like it happens with HQI lamps creating shadows and probably a more natural look
Congrats for the new purchase

Thanks..
It is cooler and more direct light as you said.. creates more natural looking effect with lovely simmering
Also It gives more better visuals on tank depth and previous light made it more flat
