  1. I've read that thread too when doing research on the Nanobox. He doesn't mention Hydra26 and XR15W as he is only picking 1 competitor in each category to comment on - what he feels is his biggest competition. However, if you look at the table he created, he listed the Hydra26 in the Medium category and the XR15W in the Nano category (which is a weird categorization if you ask me, since the XR15W is more than double the wattage of the Nanobox Mini and is comparable to the Hydra26), showing that they are more than viable competitors to the Nanobox series. In my opinion, the competitor he chooses to highlight in each category is not his "biggest competition" as he states, but the one he is able to find the most things to say good things about his light vs the other one. For example, why is he picking the Kessil in the Medium category when, for example, the Hydra 26 is cheaper even with the controller option and has 7 controllable channels vs his 2-4 channels? I'm not saying that the Nanobox is not a good light - I do believe that it is, and its loyal following proves this point. However, I feel that it is not accurate to use that comparison post that is created by the Nanobox owner. It is natural that he would rate his own light as the best. Especially here in Singapore where we have to import the Nanobox plus run the risk of warranty issues - not saying Dave won't honour warranty, but sending parts back and forth is time consuming and costly - we have to admit that the other options we have here with direct distributor support are at least equal if not better options relatively speaking.

  2. I have a flame angel (purchased from Marine Life). Does not touch any of my Zoa. But does nip on new SPS for a couple of minutes whenever a new one is placed in. It ignores the SPS after that.

  4. First started a dedicated macroalgae tank about 3 years ago to help grow enough pods for the mandarin fishes. And recently started anew with a semi-outdoor macroalgae in new house, no idea how it will work out in the long run but it has been working well so far Here are the technical specs: -40g long main tank -10kg Arag-alive live sand -Maxspect Gyre XF130 wave maker -Deltec SC1455 skimmer -Setup and designed by Henry from MarineLife The algae has been growing well with natural light and the tank gets direct late-afternoon sun. The temperature can get as high as 31 degreeC The evaporation lost can get really high hence an 'rain-proof' automatic water top-up system was built Also DIY-ed an light 'hood' for night viewing using outdoor switch and spotlight, the tank gets about 3-hours of artificial light everyday. Photo of the tank taken in mid-May Currently i've the following in the tank Macro-algae: -OCHTODES SP -CAULERPA SERRULATA -CHAETOMORPHA SP (Hitchhiked from somewhere, grown into few big balls now!) -VALONIA SP -PADINA SP -GALAXAURA SP -GELIDIUM SP Fishes -3 Mandarin fishes -1 regal tang -1 tailspot blenny -1 clownfish
