My flame angel ate all of mine. Once she started, I couldn't stop her.

Strange and sorry to here that. I have had mine for about 8 months. Has always worked fine. It runs a little hotter than I wold like but I am in a canopy with no fans. Love the separate timers and moonlight LEDs are a nice visual.

I have a Kent scraper. Like $15 at the LFS. let's me get into tight places and bottom of glass without too much intrusion into tank. It telescopes to 30" something inches. I can't get to some places with my magnet cleaner, so this does the trick.

Wow! Nice pics, Awesome tank, awesome lighting. I can really see a big difference! Have you used the plastic scraper yet? It works pretty well!!!!

I never thought of it that way. That's a great idea. I have no SPS now. Don't think I would consider them (even though I want them bad) until I upgrade the lighting again. Presently just beginner corals ricordea and shrooms. A few clowns and tangs as well. Will these tolerate the 82-83 degree...

I definitely agree with what is being said. Thanks for the well thought out and well explained article!

I just installed a 4x54W T5 fixture on Friday. It has built in fans and LED moonlights.It replaced an old Odyssea CF fixture. I am surprised by the heat that this fixture gives off. It is mounted inside of my canopy. I have the back of the canopy open to help with ventilation. When all 4 bulbs...
