Thanks guys.
I read all about how you must get MH and I feel like I can't get any corals. But obviously with your success I can.
Awesome tanks.

thanks
its a red tree sponge. It can not touch air or it will die. it needs high flow and it not big on light. it would melt under MH's.
btw it looks oarnge but a orange sponge is completly differnt.

I am going to bump this one up to the top for bkvreef, this is too good of a thread to let it slip by. I know that many people have reefs with only pc lighting, not everyone has metal halides, though I'm sure they wish, like myself. Come on people post your pictures. ***) I'm curious too. What do you have in your aquarium?
