Dave, the LED are ok, in that they retained most of my coral's colors. Some went downhill...my efflo which was purple on green is now grey on grey. My pink and blue milli is now my nice blue milli. A couple others lost a bit of bang, although I just nuked my tank with pesticides, so not a good week to be judging colors -lol
Overall, if you have Radiums and no GOOD (cost, evaporation, etc) reason to switch them out, I'd stick with them.

agreed.....my final decision on the Illumina 260 I am running will be in by xmas I suspect...I recently added 3 UV modules, and am going to get either 2 more UV or 2 blue...........I have some nice SPS now and have my alk under control with a doser.....time will tell

My final decision was in in 3 weeks. I had to go LED for evaporation reasons, so gotta live with it, but I miss my Radiums The vertex may offer better quality light, so hopefully you get different results.
I've got my alk a bit low too, so I'm trying to bump that a bit, but that still won't bring back the lost colors, just a bit of the pop.

what's up with that? try hooking up your RO/DI directly to the sump with kent a solenoid and a float switch kit.....has worked for me since 2003

No, it was the 5g+ per day getting sucked up into my house. My front door deadbolt rusted out on me
The top off is exactly like yours

ah I see.......yes a HRV is the one thing I never did get myself. Should I ever do a large system again I will get one installed.

[wickedfrags]

do you think the halides had that much to do with it? Is not the sheer water volume and open square footage a big factor....

then again this is a SPS pic thread.....I will see what I can do later today
