    I didn't know SPS could thrive under PCs either. Good to hear, Chris.

    Well, green slimer is a very hardy SPS... it can tolerate less than perfect conditions better than most. But yeah, a fresh PC bulb can be respectable.
    Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too.

    How often do you have to change your bulbs?
