The poll shows 85% of people using LED because it is the latest technology. That is what most of the stores are selling nows aday. I can tell you that those that got into the hobby in the last two year probably have not even heard of T5 nor MH not to mention them buying T5/MH. The way the hobby...

There are so many skimmers and i dont think anyone have tried them all. I can share my experiences on these skimmer below that i have had using them. Any of them below will do well for your tank. The #3 reef dynamic is a.very good and #4 bubble king is also very good. They are better than...

No not every single led but at least a handful of them. (Rapidled, Radion and hydra 26, reefbrite...etc) . Its an expensive hobby and its your expenses. You dont necessary have to take my words for it. In my almost 10 yrs of growing acropora. LED are not there yet, at least for stick corals...

Thank you and thank you. Now you are speaking my language. The guy in Boston that runs a 5000g tank and grows mainly stick corals (acropora) where Winfields bought corals from. He called me the other day to tell me that dont switch to LED. He said after 10 years of research, studying and...

Yes but like i said. Those monti caps are easy to grow and they do fine under.any light. Even homedepot crappy light just so you lnow. Monti caps and green slimer are the easies and they work fine under any light. I dont see.any real acropora in that tank. Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

I just dont believe what i see. Alot of people use the Led for a few weeks and then post picture saying that their LED is the best and work well with LED. I really like to hear from those that run LED for over 10+ months on their sps tank. Those are the real testimony. Because i want to try...

You grew thse corals from small frags with the hydra 26 Led? That is a nice color tank. Do you have a tank built thread? By the way, wpertersen tank has mostly monti cap which do well under any Led. Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

Not really sure what is the affect of the PH in the saltwater. But in all of my years in this hobby i have never payed attention nor tested for PH Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

I think for those that still using T5/MH are not so much with the grow but more because of coloration. Very few people that grow acropora in long term have great success with LED. For lps and softies, led is a sure choice. For sps, T5/MH is king. Think about it. Why do people switch from LED...

T5 will give you great color than any led light could Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

nice looking macro shots

Salt: instant ocean Cal/Alk: bionic 2 parts Active Carbon: BulkReefSupply active carbon GFO: BulkReefSupply gfo. I have tried a few salt brand but I found that the basic instant ocean salt works best for corals in my tank than most other salts. That is my testimony

Bayer works wonder. I've been using bayer to dip SPS for a few years now. However, it's not easy to clean off the bayer residuals on the corals. Even if you rinse the frags off like 5-6 times, there is always some left behind on the corals. When the Bayer goes into the tank, it will kill...

Those monti caps look very nice. Now that you have relocated to Cambridge you will find that there are plenty of those around. Both Dong, Greg Hiller or Frank, they all have them for sale and very dirt cheap. They are nice and colorful, not sure why i dont see that many people like caps in the...

hi, My name is Tran, and I was recently joined. This Bay area reef forum is a great forum. I am from the east coast but I travel to this bay area almost 5-6 times a year for business . I hope to continue to learn more about the hobby and also want to exchange or share my knowledge or...
