Hi All,
Ive had my 125 reef for about 4 years and it does okay but I tend to loose LPS over time not due to water conditions which are fine and my reactor works fine. The question because of the light I use (3-175 10,000k and 4VHO actinic) the water is running in the mid 80's and I have been reding that it can cause stress in the tank, some people say the temp is fine and others say to get it down to the mid to upper 70's What do all of you think? I went ahead and ordered a chiller today which from what I hear will stablize the tank. By the way I do have times when I get red alge on the rock and sand and I know thats a sure sign of a stressed tank. So let it rip I would really like to hear all sides of this subject.
