No problem with those lights but you'll need more than one to replace a 6 bulb T5 fixture. The 48" fixture only has 24LED or 72W which is the same as one AI sol which sell for around the same price....

Still too early here for new ponds. I spent last weekend digging through frozen ground for a deck, that was hard enough but would have been impossible for a pond. Anyone thinking of digging soon...

I find it happens often when caps cup upwards. As they grow along with other corals surrounding it lack of flow becomes a problem. One of my green caps just did the same thing.

I seem to think there would be a few reasons why someone might switch to LED lighting... Maybe we should start a thread to discuss :wink:

A plate heat sink with fins is not old fashioned and is superior to a tube. It has way more surface area and can accept more convection. Those are really the only two variables here.

It's a multi chip LED, color separation should in theory be the best (I've never pick up on color separation from a Kessil), the shimmer however is much more intense. Are you talking about the same...

I always make sure I purchase Zeobak that came in directly from the supplier as retailers don't usually refrigerate it. Doubt suppliers do as well but the fresher the better I figure. The expiry...

I always thought Prodibio was the more expensive option for larger tanks. I know for my tank I worked it out to around 2 full kits a month which is around $120 or so. I think I spend about half that...

Both my red channels run at around 30% most of the day. They peak first for a red-ish morning then maintain intensity until later at night.

This (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/sphelps/House/DSC_6458.jpg)is how my fireplace was originally finished by the builders, pretty sure it's just standard drywall as well, not fire rated.

Looking good! Curious what your finishing plans are around the tank as I thought it was all just going to be drywalled in with some casing around the tank.

water blasters are AC, I think you can buy the Diablos from reef octopus now but pretty sure they're the same as speedwave & waveline. When the controller is 100% identical I would wager the rest is...

I'm not really sure what other pumps to compare wavelines/speedwaves to. That's pretty much all we have on the market right now for DC, well without going overseas and spending big bucks.
