Thank for changing it Brad

And tony I am going to take your advise and in time will do a super hybrid retro fit on it.

You wouldn't believe some of the flack I'm getting for dropping LEDs. Man some people are haters

[thmh]

Lmao haters going to hate! Everyone reefs differently and there is no right or wrong as long as you can achieve the end result of keeping healthy colorful corals! :-)

ya, as Tony said, who cares what anyone else thinks. Results are results, no matter how you get them :-) Seriously, some people are just jacked up on Hatorade.

That's dumb. As I told you, I'm right behind you. New fixture should be up and running by the weekend!

Good choice! I love T5s. The light is so uniform and silky smooth and the colour temp is adjustable :-) Plus T5s are by far the easiest to photograph.

Thanks. I really enjoyed building this from the ground up. I would believe that the tiles also add some biological as well as the tile is porus. But the big thing for me was I wanted the cleanliness of bare bottom and the look of sand so to speak
