At this point it doesn't matter. It won't grow back. Cut the dead off, re-utty it into place and let it encrust the putty. It's not a lot, and it's dead skeleton.

I've used it often in the past. I mix it with about 10 parts water (add acid to water, outdoors). It will eat concrete. IT also needs to be neutralized before disposal with baking soda.

Oh, I miss this too :) Although once adjusted, they were set and forget. Although I can set the timers via computer still. I can turn my T5 off. Then on. Then off again. I can actually do this with...

Problem is, numbers will be different for each tank. It depends on unit, number of units, power profile, dimming settings, etc. While running lights in full might be cheaper, having the sunset,...

This is another selling point. But again, for me, I don't give a damn about electricity costs. I run a giant box of water in my livingroom, that is an expensive undertaking :) If it costs 20 or...

And you'd be right. They are fine. Nothing wrong with them, even the "cheap" AIs :) They do a really nice job, have great features not available with any other technology and grow corals as...

For me, I moved to LED to reduce moisture in the house, which it did very well. And they also kept about 95% of the color for over the year I used them. Pretty impressed with that. They also have...

Ok, that looks better :)

If it were me, I'd cut the bottom dead area off, re-mount it with some epoxy and hope it encrusts again.

Overall, that coral looks like it's in pretty rough shape. Got a pic of it in the water? Maybe it will look better, but the tips of most of the corallites look bad..

As for growth, I've actually seen more growth with the T5 over the last month, with old bulbs. We'll see what the next month brings with the new fixture/bulbs. I do agree tho, that adding some...

These are the 2 features i miss with LED, so if I can supplement them without too much trouble, it would be nice to have those features back. The hybrids give you that, although there may be a loss...

The hybrid is about what I paid for my AI's, so I think fair, if the coverage is there.

Ya know, if I were to jump in now, I might look at the hybrids. I do like the features of LED, with the color from T5. And I could buy a fixture today for what I paid for the AIs. And with the money...

Michael, to be fair to all LEDs, I didn't much care for the Mitras either :). Sure, they're probably a bit better than AI or Radions, but still not up to speed with MH or, as I'm seeing now, even T5....

Ya, I'll get some pics. As for bulb change, it's cheaper than MH and that's never really been a concern of mine. I figure it's the cost of having nice coral.
Keeping things in perspective, I spend...
