Pretty happy to see this thread separate from kessil club, kind of a pita to dig through that forum.

Here are some pictures of my bubble tip which recently split. Doing extremely well. I don't feed it anything directly.
I am running my AP700 about 10 inches off the water. My tank is 48 x 21 x 20.
I have 2 Kessil A160s at the edges to supplement. I added these because I had to raise the AP700 too high to get full coverage - tank is in the living room and was getting too much light spillage.
AP700 runs for 1 hour ramp up and down and 7 hours at 43%
A160s run for 12 hours with a 4 hours ramp up and down with peak at 45%.
Everything is growing well. The bubble tip is in the corner and gets lots of flow and probably mid to low light and it likes the spot, the baby stays right there and it never moved.
I gotta say I had this nem and light on a smaller tank and never had this success. In fact I had a lot of these corals in another tank and something happened with this new setup where they are thriving. I had T5 supplement and tried other things.
A par meter is also very helpful - I use the Seneye meter.
