Bribo, I've added the hammer this morning and it's already starting to bloom w/o lights yet. Any idea about lunar lights? I'd like to keep the MH fixture but I don't have lunars. Any ideas?

Could you somehow fit an led strip on there somewhere? You could fit a nice blue strip or something on there.

Yea I gotta have one! I just can't figure out what the strips come with. It doesn't really specify if it comes with the power supply or not

No . Unfortunately you have to buy it separate. But only need one to run multiple bars with a splitter. Pretty sweet setup and not too expensive. I'll keep you posted with the install

My newest addition.. Swirly hammer. Seems to be trying to come out but might need better MJ bulb. Adding the stunner uv on Tuesday and planning to run it with the mh during the day and just the stunner at night. So far no issues except for the diatom bloom which is still in the LS but the rocks are clearing up.

Pink corals are hard to come by lol. Zoas would be your best bet for something pink

Sweet! I'm wondering if the stunner will give the MH a hand too?
