My nano tank on the other hand with a PAR33 bulb is a life saver. Any corals that are diminishing in health I drop in there, and overnight they transform.

If your tank is lps dominant try running more blues and less whites in my experience lps loves led.

Agreed. Wifey has a par38 on her tank and lps love it

I currently run 10W/50/52. Not much white in there. I did have a semi tank crash a little over a week ago and the corals are starting to wake up again, so - we'll see.

Wow what a difference. I have it at 14" to start. I'll leave it for a while and see how coral reacts. Been so long since having halide I forgot how crisp and clean it looks
The spread of that luminarc is crazy. No shadows at all

the reflector has nearly as much volume as your display. that doesn't hurt lol.

[Proteus]

Lol. Yeah never thought of that.

I really like how your setosa is spilling onto the ground! Cool effect.

Any updates? How's the halide?
