In fairness for lps some types of supplemental lighting is enough. Depends alot on what type and depth of tank and light mounting height. Also how long photo period is.Recently I've been told by other reefers that my setup wont work long term and that my lighting setup is supplemental not meant for primary usage.. Well here’s my litto reef 7 months in! Were getting coralline algae growth all over and corals are booming
I appreciate the reassurance Michael!
Whomever told you that hasn't been in the hobby long enough. We kept things long term under garbage compact fluorescent tubes back in the 90s and early 2000s. These blades can generate a lot of light, especially when in a shallow system like this. What's your water change and mineral replacement strategy?Recently I've been told by other reefers that my setup wont work long term and that my lighting setup is supplemental not meant for primary usage..

Haha thats what i was thinking, reefing equipment has gotten realllyy advanced from what set up use to run on! I dont do water changes for this setup at all, just brs balling method for the big 3 and then forbidden elixir from CH for trace elements. I spot feed frozen 2 times a week and dose 10ml CH royal microbes everyday.
Lol yeahh everything is happy and fluffy and i thought the same but the hammers and torches dont care ive had these for a while too so might just be okay with torchesI have no idea how everything is so happy in that tiny space
