Fr499y shrimp tank 🦐

Oi! they're not that fat

You may have noticed the pic looks very 'pinky'. Thats because I took the other light off expecting the new one to arrive next day ( you know, how next day delivery usually works ) and well... it hasn't. I ripped out a lot of the dead leaves and plants over the weekend, and ordered a few others to fill in the gaps.

Oh the excuses.

6 days and counting for the next day delivery of my light I’m waiting for a reply from the couriers as to where the hell it is!

The current setup is making the plants look very pale and washed out. The fish look incredible though so a silver lining lol

You not got some other light you can use temporarily @fr499y?

[fr499y]

This one works ok, the greens are washed out as it has more red/blue than whites.

[fr499y]

It finally arrived! Lucky enough the brackets I’m using only just fit but hold it nice and secure. 16 whites, 4 red and 4 blue - so a nicer ratio of white to colour which is much better on the eyes.

The old light was a 1:1:1 w,r,b which rendered colours great, but greens looked awful.

[Martinspuddle]

Can't see the problem.

Now I've got the fun job of re-wiring the controller!
The old light had a 10cm cable, this new one has a 3m cable. Some how I don't think I'm going to need the total 5m length of wire!

Picture update as Always required hehe

Either your aquarium has shrunk or you've got really big Harlequins.
