ahh, wish you asked. had a huge piece which went into the trash.

if you feel like you're gonna regret it, why not just get the DOS? also, buy new unless the deal is really good but then you'll also have to take the seller's word for it. DOS aren't the most durable dosers, biggest appeal is the cohesion with the neptune controller.

I am in the LED camp as well but I myself run a hybrid set up on my main tank, 2 x XR15s, XR30 and AquaticLife 36" and 3 x XR15s with diffusors on my frag tank . Old technology doesn't necessarily mean its obsolete or it's "bad" and everything is always a case by case basis. T5s and Halides may...

check this thread out, https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-modified-black-box-thread.283942/ all blackboxs are all similar and you can usually find any 3w epistar LEDs off eBay. I suggest this is the time to buy LEDs that can blend a better spectrum compared to the stock.

I'd recommend 2 AI PrimesHD, you can usually find last gen used ones for sale that are pretty good. this will set you up for fish, lps and softies. you can add 2 more down the road and you can support SPS.

this is pretty cool, i will probably send in a sample of my frag tank in and my display.

more or less the t5 bulbs will be driven with there max output that they are designed for. the issue with the cheaper fixtures is the type of ballast they use, instant start or programmed start. instant start ballast have a reputation of shocking the bulbs which lead to a shorter life span...

see what those cuc additions do to the algae. I would just clean the glass during this time. if the algae gets out of control do some manual cleaning but see how the cuc handles it first l.

add all those things and wait it out for 2 weeks and see where your at. water changes is such a waste if you have nothing going on in there.

mostly just repeated want @DangerDave and @Mrx7899x said with a little more details? I think it just got lost with the talk of light intensity. zoa's don't need that much par and an easy way to recognize that is if the bases are stretching out. if they are not and the zoas are open, they are...

Just seeing this... so let me add my 2 cents since I ran the very same tank and currently running an IM 30 Ext, which is in the same size bracket. First off, your tank is going through the ugly phase even if you think you passed it, well you’re learning that any type of imbalance that occurs...

ill get them to you sometime this week. I have a small potter overgrowing with babies that I'd like to sell because I have no space for it.

not those specifically, but have other babies for sale.

hit or miss, IME. aiptasia eating nudis are your best bet or a copperband butterfly

i've used both and cant go wrong with either. the only Pros the WXM has, is it integrates with the APEX system, so you'll have your controls in one place. I'm currently using the reeflink right now thought just for the additonal features it offers like wireless calibration for lights.

Dave, would love a blasto frag! if you ever find your self near ACC on a weekend, let me know and we can meet up!

it's still a baby, will be moving it in its own spot away from everything lol

no major updates on the main tank or frag tank. just added 3 new pieces to the collection. WWC Space Invader, TSA Bill Murray, and Tranquil Millie. updated photo of the IM 30Ext Frag Tank

only have jbs and blasto merletti for sale at the moment.

the picture above is pretty spot on. below is mine, hard to capture a Kenya tree when it's moving lol but it's right in the middle.
