Doug it might be way early to ask this but how do you like LEDs over T5s? I ask because I have been considering a Powermodule instead of my Sols..

like you said.....it's a little early to tell how the corals will respond.....right now Im only ramping the radions up to 60% at the peak.....the zoanthids and couple of mushrooms that I have and all my LPS seem to be doing great.....my sps not so much.....Im not sure that I can say that it was the light change that has my sps looking kinda blah.....the sps went from my tank in Calgary to a tank at the e-town Red Coral and then into my basically brand spankin new fully stocked tank here....the musical tanks and the fact that both the tank and the lighting is new has taken a toll on the color............I will say this tho......I loooooove the programing options that the radions offer and even if 100% of my sps doesnt color up the way it was, Im sticking with LED and happy I made the switch

Thats understandable, for sure! Seeing your corals at RCE I couldnt beleive the color you had and in my opinion T5s color up corals the nicest! But then again I dont think I've given my LEDs much of a chance either!

well thats kinda the thing......you are never gonna make 100% of all your coral happy 100% of the time.....there was plenty of stuff that I tried under T5 that didnt do well, never colored up properly or just plain died.....now of course I never took pics of that stuff so most people didnt see it......I imagine that it will be much the same with LED......I was just looking closely last night and I noticed that a couple of my LPS have already started growing on to the epoxy that is nailing them down, so thats a good sign.....

Thanks George


some good new and some bad news.....

first the bad.....I lost my royal gramma the other day....had him for close to three years....the ick finally won the battle.....

the good news is, I think I may finally be getting the hang of Girlys camera....I finally got the color somewhat true to life.....

Awesome shots as usual Dougster!! Sad for your Grammy dude
