The cheap chinese leds do generally work. Its just there longevity thats variable

Hob is mostly what I have ran. Now w my larger tank that will change. You did mention reef tho so a sump/ref is the way to go.

Fish are just weird lol . My big tank has naso tangs all the way down to a clown goby. No issues, I add a small niger and its my dwarf angel that gave the little guy shit at first lol.

Welcome to the forum.

Kessils are one of the best

Have a video w him and my naso but it doesn't load on here lol

Here is the little fella

Agreed. Kessils are great, but at $230 a pop I can't justify that

I hear ya. Its tough when u don't actually see them in action

Its a wealth of knowledge on here. Why not use it.

Thats out of my wheel house lol. I'am lucky if I can figure out the light output of them. The ones I've most recently seen are finnex. Trying to see if there any good

Kessil makes a very nice led. Cheap, no but very nice. As mentioned above it really depends what u want to keep. I myself iam looking for lights on my new tank. I'am leaning towards led bc of the overall savings in running cost. The upfront cost is higher tho.

My naso still hides if I walk too close to the tank lol. Add food tho and that changes lol

Now I should clarify my statement. You should test your water! Newer tanks fluctuate greatly. Reef tanks need constant testing. Hence why I've never gone full blown reef lol

Agreed. I like lion fish but they are huge waste producer's. The squirrel fish same thing. The tank is just too small and too new. Water changes will help keep the fish alive , but a long term solution is needed. Ie larger tank

Agreed. Clowns np. Test kits I really shouldn't admit this lol but I hardly ever test my water. When I do , I use the red sea bc it was better than api. My salinity is all I check regularly. I have established tanks tho, so no new changes

New trigger update. After much trepidation, I pulled the trigger trigger!!! Lol I got a niger for my semi aggressive non invert tank. Love the little guy. Eats any thing!!!!

I feed my fish macro lol however I am aware of the benefits of keeping it

To quote Beasley bob. "Macro alage" lol

Hole is optional lol but I would move fish.
