Starting to look like a reef tank again. ORP is creeping back up into the 400s.

T5 at least for the winter. Bulbs coming next week.

Why is that?

For healthier SPS. Some of the colonies are big enough to shadow themselves.. which is the downfall of LED lighting. Ultimately I’ll run a combo of sorts but for now I’ll experiment with T5 only for a while.

Are you worry about heat once summer hits? I stuck my 150W halide over the 20L I think it will do ok tell summer hits.

Yeah trying to avoid a chiller in summer plus my fish room is small with only one AC vent

Thanks. Flow is pretty high. I have a WAV pump at each end alternating between 10 and 30 seconds throughout the day.

Battle with Cyano is over thanks to a dose of chemiclean

This mummy chalice is starting to get big. Had it for about 1.5 years or so

I was going to clean this WAV pump, but now I’m not

Yep. 4x54w. I only run 2 bulbs at a time on each fixture. One channel runs 9am to 4pm, the other from 4pm to 7pm. Running all 4 bulbs is way too much light.
