MidWestReefer is right, I'm running 3 Radions G5 Pro over my tank at around 65% intensity, and with a AliExpress light bar in the back for the SPS. PAR-wise the anemones are sitting at around 170 - 220 PAR. Honestly BTAs are super forgiving in terms of parameters, I have kept them under anything from Power Compact, T5, to different LEDs. If you can grow LPS, most likely BTAs will be fine. If you are not confident in your lighting, you can supplement with slightly heavier feeding... I tend to feed once a week with a small portion of food. Higher light typically yield a brighter looking BTA. (typically) And... nobody knows for sure why they bubble up. 😝

Some people have budgets and stick to that budget. That shouldn’t prevent them from enjoying the hobby too. My overall thought is If someone is bad with money or can’t keep a proper budget, then It doesn’t matter what hobby they have wether it’s Reefing, or sneakers or even cars. I just feel like personal finance and people and their money is something personal because everyone’s situation is different. I have kids and everything I do I have to think about them (college is expensive - wait until you get that MIT bill for your son) The hobby wouldn't have grown to the size it is now if it was only accessible to people who can pay the full price upfront. it's all about access. Personally I feel like you - I would never make payments on fish or coral because once it’s dead, I still have payments for months with nothing to show for it, so it If can’t afford it at the time of purchase then I leave it alone. No shame in me saying that.

@InappropriateReefer 2 жыл бұрын

This makes sense. Each person's financial choice is theirs so I agree with your statement. And... I just tried to imagine myself continue to pay installments on some thing/some creature that I no longer have... oh man, I would never want to be in that position,, even beyond this hobby. I think one huge part that we didn't really focus on in terms of access is used gears, - that's where some of the best deals are found (I also got started via used equipment). Sort of like when a hobbyist closes his own door, he opens the door for other hobbyists. 😂

A bit of an update, the CSB dulled out to more of a RBTA with a bright yellow tip. I suspect the light in my Mangrove system is not as intense as Thirsty's among other things. Still a nice look but it'd be cool to get that crazy color back! Will hit up Thirsty's to see if he has any tip on color management. Rainbow Haddoni! May I ask how much? ($2,000?)

Thank you for that video! 🙂 Watch out for a change in the balance of power between the yellow and purple tang. My yellow one was also as restrainedly dominant as yours in the video and after that there was supposedly peace until one day the purple tang that came in later started attacking the yellow one. It attacked much more violently and persistently than the yellow one had before and never stopped. It would have killed the yellow one if I had not removed it....

Things were great for 2 or so weeks, now the Hippo is bullying the Purple while Yellow is totally cool with him. Thankfully the Hippo is mainly keeping the Purple away from the algae clip and not persistent about the chase, so there is hope.

I'm fine on financing for equipment or something..some of us don't have thousands to drop on a tank at one time. I am by no means rich or poor, and sometimes its nice to just have to pay a few bucks a month for a few months. I use it sometimes for when I buy things for when I need it asap so I will finance then juat pay off when payday hits. Or use it to buy new lights and then pay each month and then put the money from the selling of the old lights towards the finance amount.

I dont agree with the payment plan stance I think its great option to have I use it all the time and I've never once had a late payment only way ill use it is if it's interest free x amount of time I've always paid it off in time. It's convenient even if you can afford to buy it cash in full the payments just make it feel like a smaller purchase I'm much more likely to buy 1k dollar fish or coral if I know the payments will be spread out over 6 months vs taking 1k chunk out of my spending budget instantly not because I can't afford but because than I would have to budget less going out to eat ect that month

Disagree on your thoughts with payment plans - easy enough for youtubers who get equipment via sponsorship like yourself. Pretty sure if you had to purchase all the equipment and your tank yourself in one go like many of us do you may of opted for a payment plan. Eg- a Red Sea reefer 525 with lights in the UK is £3k custom tanks over here are double what they are in the US. A 6 x2x2 from a leading brand brand will be anywhere between 3-5k. I don’t know anyone with that kind of cash to spend in one go. Life stock can and should be purchased gradually - so by no means does a. Payment plan for those trying to access what you call a luxury hobby mean that they are set up to fail or any less worthy of being in the hobby.

@InappropriateReefer 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with you to a certain extend; I agree with you that if I have to shell out $3K for tank, ~$2K on light, ~$1K on flow as startup cost, I probably would not have done it; but then again, this is based on my personal financial situation and everyone differs. Where I disagree with you though, is that those high end stuff is not the only option, instead of doing payment plans, I would turn to alternative brands that are not as costly (at probably 1/3 - 1/5 the cost) that I could have purchased in one go -- that was my main point. Or, instead of buying new, just buy used at a huge discount, that may be the most financially frugal way!
