Doing well.
2 molts, eats 5x his body weight it seems, moody as f (or s) word, majorly cool.
He scans the room by hanginging upside down and rolling eyes all over…
Hi Mex, sorry for late post.
I'm trimmed out atm, but can probably get you a small piece.
JD's probably your best bet if you need a good starter.
I'll post again when I'm harvesting.
If you're stuck on the smaller size, start looking towards reptile bulb fixtures, they get as low as 14".
They're high output T5s, just drop in reef bulbs, but they're usually single bulb fixtures, so you might need to run a few.
But it does offer an opinion and an option perhaps Mickey didn't consider.
I had 3 hydras in a T5 hybrid fixture (the one you bought from me, oddly enough).
When I turned off the Hydras and just ran the T5s I found the Hydra's to actually be washing out the T5s.
So, I went out and went full T5...
If its going under cover and you dont care about looks go to home Depot or Lowes and look at the blue or black kitchen recycling bins, then cut it down to fit under your cabinet.
Get one of the $20 thick sided ones, they retain their shape when filled. The thinner 'smooth sided' ones buckle...
The new(ish) Kessil AP series is a great looking unit with fantastic lighting and spread.
DangerDave could probably give you a review, he has something like 34 of them.
Picked one up, loved it, made excuses for it, removed it.
Of all the murdering habits of hermits, these guys are pretty bad.
They start with the snails, move up to smaller crabs, and take shots at passing fish.
But they do look dope.
