CalmSeasQuest's Dueling LED Frag Growouts
Sorry for the delay in getting this thread up - I've been traveling on business since the swap. A couple of the ShyHighs in the DT melted in the time I was away. A few others appear to be struggling - time will tell. I'm not anticipating great growth from the frags placed in either tank as it is primarily a SPS tank running LNS. I'm interested in seeing what, if any differences occur under the different LED lighting using similar PAR and a common water source.
LED Growout Challenge - AquaIllumination vs Maxpsect 
Both sets of Frags are residing on racks in similar flow. Please excuse the algae on the DT rack - it seems the new egg-crate rack in the DT is leaching a bit of phosphate. Should be gone in a couple weeks.
