Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
might want to limit your water changes to once every 2 weeks and test your params. in my system, my sps usually goes pale in color when my NO3 and PO4 are undetectable.
i believe thats the sweet spot. a hybrid of either leds/t5, leds/halides or if you can, incorporate all three.
would love to know if you notice any noticeable changes to your corals after a few weeks Darren.
wanted to bump this up, as i am noticing more and more people going back to T5 and Halides.
I was actually at a fellow reefers home yesterday and he utilized 2 Kessil A350s, 8 Bulb ATI T5 Fixture and a 400w Metal Halide over a 380 gallon, i believe it was but could be bigger.
He told me that...
as far as lighting goes, I would go with 2 Kessils 350s and supplement with 2 T5 bulbs to help with the shadows on the SPS frags.
the 350s right now are a great value for a frag tank.
grab a philips ballast off amazon for $50
should be good to go!
but.. I will pay for shipping...
lol.
but, seriously that frag tank is beautiful, saw it personally at the NJ frag swap. great buy, steal for the price you got it for.
