Lots of random topics to cover today: a documentary by Snorkel Bob is supposed to be coming out called "The Dark Hobby". From what I understand, it will take a very critical look at the ornamental fish aquarium trade. I share some quick initial thoughts in this video. That aside, I attempted to increase the light intensity of the Ecotech Radion XR15 G5 Pro by 1%... and that 1% was enough to really throw the Acan off it's game. While exploring my lighting options, I finally pulled out the Apogee MQ510 PAR Meter to grab some readings around the tank... and walked away impressed by the Radion G5's nice spread of light. Lastly, just for fun, I slapped on the coral UV glasses and took a look around the tank!
