slurp.....

add at least two equal the size or bigger to the resident yellow tang.

as i have quoted on my first post in this thread, i am not sold out to the idea of led lights on sps tank. and why do you think i would fix something that is not broken in my system? since you are promoting LED is better than halides, why not show us the fruits of your led tank instead? chill bro and don't be too worked out, not trying to get into arguments but seriously, halides vs. led? there is totally no comparison. as you have mentioned, other water parameters affect growth and colouration, so the best way to compare as i previously mentioned is under same water yet isolated. until such justified comparison is produced i won't buy the idea of led for sps. VIvi Aquariums is marketing led lights for reefers, I would have done the same thing if i am in this business. you should know by now that i have been reading and searching answers for led lights for sps tanks; for obvious reasons, i would want to venture in something less costly in the long run. but as of date, i find led has not reached what halides can achieve for the hobbyists; it will definitely sooner or later but not now. so till the time it has been proven by the majority of sps reefers, i'd stick to halides. bottomline; Vivid aquarium has not convinced me of a justified comparison other than the technology led carries, and the products they carry cheers!

seen it before. it is having great results alright. his thread, http://www.reefcentr...2062544&page=28 (check on post #692) his monti has good growth rate compared to your link 7 months later ( although the other sps, which seems like a milli to me, right beside it exhibited less growth.) and to take note, on the above link, corals have been encrusted already when he placed in tank, which means it was not totally grown out from an led tank. now i wonder if he uses halides, how good could it be. here is my monti growth under halides for 2.5 months https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/316681_10150474109394148_725304287_n.jpg still, I want to see end results for growth and coloration, then we can start comparing halides and leds. I don't see any point on this just by comparing technical infos and conclude one is better than the other.

Good technical infos but what I would be more interested to SEE is the end result; I am not sold out to the idea of led for sps tanks as an equally or better replacement for halides. I have been reading and searching for threads (here and reef central) that shows success in keeping sps under led and all I can come up with is terms as "holding colors", "thriving", "surviving" What I want to see is results crazy colorations,rapid growth and flourishing successes which in my years of keeping sps under halides has been a living testimony not only to me but to other reefers alike. Perhaps the only way to compare halides and led is to get two frags from a colony, under same water yet isolated from each other and wait for a year. This is a comparison which I believe is justifiable than just simply comparing pars. Only then will I put my hats off to led.

hawaii shipment arrived at SeaLife by now.

you could get various acrylics from Dama. I find most liverocks we get locally are porous, and drilling really needs a steady and careful hand otherwise you it will break into pieces. Just my two cents, use epoxy putty to bind rocks.

birdnest great start

you got it from Iwarna yesterday via Joe? correct me if I'm wrong.... and welcome to the addictive world of colourful candy sticks

thanks man
