[Manoj's Reef]

Tank looks very good. Love the tangs.

Can you give more details about the led lighting and how did you acclimate your corals to it. If you have had some other kind of lighting before can you compare them?

[Sir Patrick]

Beautiful tank man!!

[Heidi]

I too would like to know more about your lighting. What kind of fixtures do you have etc. I am thinking about switching to LEDs and just trying to get as much info as I can. You have a beautiful and healthy system there, very cool!

I have 4 120w 50/50 fixtures on 225 and 2 on the frag tank. I don't do anything different , but i have used MH and T5 , I get better growth from the LED's

Add me to the list considering the LED switch. Do you have a hyperlink for the fixtures you are using? Tanks look awesome by the way! If you need some frags to fill up that frag tank, we have plenty here in Michigan.

Awsome videos man! That display is quite the sight to see!

[MizTanks]

There's some fishes missing from the DT~where did they go? I could watch your videos all day and never get tired :)
Is that tall refugium new or did I miss it the first couple times around? In your frag tank, did you combine all those plate frags together for a reason? I'm sort of new to sw, sorry for all the questions :)
