According to whom? Got an article to share?

What size your tank and what’s in it? A lot of us run just skimmers and no mechanical filtration at all. I would highly recommend a skimmer if you can fit one.

Feed him! Mine is eating TDO pretty ravenously, and I think has started eating some frozen also. Mine is pretty bright yellow and thickening up already.

How long does the battery last? Couldn't find this info on the product page or any of the reviews.

Man if the salt was cheap….

In this thread: a bunch of masochists! :)

Get OUT

They prefer the taste of high-end acropora polyps.

Haha we do too actually - best thing in the world. We got one after we got back from Tokyo. Scraping paper across your poopy ass just seems so incredibly barbaric now!

Let’s be sure to clear our local grocery store shelves of toilet paper while we’re at it too!

I’m sure you googled it already and came across this: https://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138705 My old YT has this at one point and it went away in its own IIRC.

Yeah running so many lights is really about the spread, and there’s so much overlap you also get insane PAR. I only run the Reefis at about 30% and still get 700 PAR in the peak spots.

Awesome!!, maybe we can get @ReyDeFarts to run a contest for “most obscene light rack.” I’ll post pics after my next iteration but it will have 6x a8se, 4x 6ft helix, and a Kessil a160.

…what’s 6 times 250? :) Plus four 6ft helix bars. Should be plenty of PAR

Absolutely is the case that more spread really accelerates glass algae - I noticed this right away when adding the helix bars, for example, and it's the most unfortunate tradeoff when seeking more spread. But it's a necessary evil to some extent. This file is telegrahams imitation of the AB+...

Yes. I really have no complaints with the reefis, i just like tinkering with lighting. I've always loved the XR30 AB+ spectrum but am not willing to spend $6k on the real lights, so it turned into a bit of an experiment with the knockoffs. I was using two of them over my frag tank and have...

What's your hypothesis? The glass pane algae growth seems to really take off at a certain amount of PAR/spread. It's almost like an on/off switch for algae growth past a certain point. It's why I turned my lights way down a few weeks back - dramatic reduction in glass cleaning frequency. Do...

Everything is going really well with the tank right now - so of course I'm going to make a major change to one of the most critical inputs. 6x a8se xr30 knockoffs ready to go: Thanks to @MarcosD for printing all of the brackets for me. I started cutting the aluminum and will take a shot at...

Agree with all of this 100%.

Which LFS? This is probably patient zero.
