    Default Chuck's LED Powered 50b Beast

    Here's my new setup. Its a 50g breeder tank with a 29g sump. Its lit with a 50/50 mix of cool white and royal blue leds. 52 total leds using 156w of power. I'm planning on a mixed reef with mostly zoas and plating montis.

    I had some decent growth with my sps before my major crash. I lost almost my entire collection of sps and lps a couple months ago. I'm sure I would have had even better growth if I dosed and kept up on some of my levels a little better.

    Was the crash before or after you introduced the LED's?
    Sorry to hear that by the way.

    It was several months after the leds. It was because of a rogue anemone hitting a vortech pump.
