if you do led, just remember that you will need high powered 3w cree leds or something like the evolution leds with is a a bunch of 1w leds in a bunch that creates enough par. you cant expect to buy small strips like ecoxotic stunners and have them sustain your corals. therefore, generally...

depends how you view the 14k range. do u view it as pheonix 14k or something else more white. to me, the fiji purple and purple + is all that is needed for the for reds and pinks. i personally do not think my tank is too blue at all, but then again, i prefer more blue. i think mine could be...

met the guy who takes care of the tank, and trust me this tank just started. the other tanks he takes care of are amazing. when this one matures, they will reach the same status. their store tank was unbelievable too.

4 ati blue+, 1 ati purple+ or fiji purple, and 1 ati aquablue special new version. right now im running 2 ati blue+, 2 kz super blue, 1 ati purple +, 1 fiji purple

yes chalices have sweepers. even some SPS have some sweepers

most marine paint has chemicals that are harmful for sea life. thats its main purpose so that barnacles and such wont stick to the bottom of ships

for the price of aquaticlife, he would be way better off with TEK.

depends how close it is, but it can definately penetrate to over 500 par on the sand bed if its close enough to the surface of the water. i wish i had one to play around with lol. only got to try it out for a week when i had my hands on it.

250+ par would be good for sps. i keep my acans and chalices around 100-150 par. my zoas are adjusted to 200+ par. sps do good at 500-600 levels too but need to be acclimated to them

those numbers are ONLY directly under the light. else where the par is <100. this is first hand testing. They create a spotlight effect and the color is also rather drab.

ATI's dimmable fixtures should already be here state side

you will not regret an ATI fixture. itll run cooler and you'll get to fine tune your color

hard to say, many companies do not put out their PAR ratings

If i were to rank the reef capable fixture from marine land, it wouldnt even be on my list of things to look at. i think you should look into a 4 bulb t5 system from TEK (you can find these used) or look for an evolution LED 1G fixture. this should give coverage over your whole tank

yes correct, but the height should really be determined with a par meter. can you borrow one from your local club

i think you'd be wasting your money with the reef capable LED from marineland. my par testings showed that these things could barely produce good par. the only places you'd be able to keep corals is directly underneath the leds themselves. i would suggest looking for a used light fixture on a...

the grey pvc is SCH80 piping. you can get sch80 pvc pipes from **************. as for paint, people say you can, but i personally wouldnt risk it

well you already know what happened to my female flame wrasse the other day. bleh, must be a week of jumping

i did not have an anemone, it was ORA
