For LPS and SPS under Primes, I'd start with a 10-hour total photoperiod, 2-hour ramp up/down. Peak intensity around 60% for 6 hours. Adjust based on coral response—if they're stretching, bump intensity. If they bleach, cut it back. What's your current PAR at the sandbed?

He's absolutely stunning, every penny was worth it for this beautiful guy.

That's one stunning betta, I must say.

Blimey, I've gotta say, that tank does look pretty sweet, I can see why you splurged on it. Sorry, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to cichlids - I'm assuming that's what they are, right? I'm sure someone with the know-how will chime in soon and offer some advice. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Hi, I'm still concerned about Eros and I was wondering, had you done a water change for him before the 50% change you did recently? You mentioned you've had him for about two weeks, so I'm curious to know if this was the first time you changed the water, or if there were any changes before that.
