Think I am still a paid member but can't post in "deals and steals". Thanks.

There is a lot of gimmickry's with the high end reef fixtures but I think the benefit is marginal. I would personally go for a used Aquatic Life hybrid fixture. A lot cheaper than the ATI and the like but basically the same, with individual reflectors and waterproof end caps.

mine of the things I enjoy while keeping SPS is to get a browned out coral and nurture it to its full potential. I can’t wait to see this one coloring up.

It depends on the relay used in these smart plugs. Solid state relay cannot detect the tiny current used by these dosers. My Kasa smart plug does use mechanical relays. At least I think it does because I can hear the click. However I used the trusted Apex Jr for my dosers.

Maybe a pair of AI primes?

Amazon sells IO bucket for $38 now.

If you're the DYI kind of guy, why not build a T5 hybrid with a pair of T5s and the LED you currently have. You can get retro kit for about $120 and a pair of bulbs for $45 for a total of $165. And there are always people selling T5 fixtures for next to nothing.

So I thought the corals look good but just the SPS not doing too much. Haven't measured ALK for a long time so figure I would check. 5.2 DKH. I guess it's time to dose now :)

You can have them without the fish for the return of favor!

that totall works. but you might not have space to mount two LEDs. One LED will not have the coverage for a 36” tank.

I have sinaria and palys. But need a time to get to you

Get the light that is the same width as the tank. T5 does not project much lights beyond the end point. I use one of the presets from Radion. The LED runs 12 hours and the T5's 5 hours. When the T5's are on the LED basically just provide some shimmer but most of the visible lights are coming...

3 blue+ 1 purple. I have seen 2b+, c+ and 1 actinic. I like the later a little better. The actinic makes the color very sharp. it is really a personal preference.

The diamond goby doing what it does. It has really made a nice cave for itself after exploring different part of the tank. I have no corals on the sand bed except a couple of ricordias. maybe i will destroy his home hurricane ida style and see it got rebuilt … this is taken from my webcam.

I used them for 18 to 24 months. BRS did a video and found out they last a lot longer than the 9 to 12 suggested usable life. It about $90 for 4 bulbs.

That nutrient in the water needs somewhere to go, or it will grow algae. Use a nutrient export method that will compete with the algae the algae will be gone over time.

As far as light go, I have T5 + Radions. I like the clean look of the combo. One wire going down the corner of the tank. Very thin panel. T5 is what worked for me for SPS. I have seem great LED-lit SPS tanks but T5 is easier and cheaper. The brightness cannot be achieve with LED. And if you do...

I offered to buy something. After two initial messages nothing. I hate when people do this. Just say something no hard feelings don't ask a question then nothing ...
