    How High Do You Get?

    This is hard to say. It depends entirely on the depth of your tank and the type of corals that you have. Best advice would be to start higher around 12" and work your way down. Better yet...borrow a PAR meter and adjust accordingly. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    how old is the Reefer 170, and does it come with every little thing as if brand new? Any scratches? Also, any reason you put a check valve in the return line?

    Ecotech Radion XR15 Discussion

    IMHO a single Radion XR15 is good for no more than a ln 18x18 area. If you want good coverage you need a xr30 every 24" of tank Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ecotech Radion XR15 Discussion

    For a tank that size get the xr30 if you really want LEDs. I had the xr15w pro over my tank 24x16x16 and the coverage was terrible. Too much shading for my sps. They began to brown at their undersides. I gave up after 9 months and switched to t5. Couldn't be happier!

    48 t5 hanging hight Advice

    Best to start higher like around 8" and monitor your corals. If they begin to turn brown, just lower the light an inch or so. It's always better to brown out some corals due to lack of light than it is to bleach them because of too much! Just an FYI. My tank is only 16" tall and my ATI...

    CAD Artisan II 70g tank and stand + extras

    It looks like the plumbing is running through the wall? Is your sump in another room? If so, this is exactly what I was planning on doing with my next build. Could you please share some pics of how you did it? Thanks!

    Maxspect Gyre, repair my tunze, or another MP40qd?

    I tried a Gyre Xf130 for a bit and then swapped it out for another mp10qwd on my tank. Everything about the Vortech Pump is just more heavy duty. The xf130 was also much louder in my experience than the new qwd pumps from ecotech marine.

    What kind of lighting?

    I also switched back to T5 after trying high end LED's twice. I love me some T5! But...a hybrid T5/LED fixture would be awesome too.

    Switched back to T5 after using LED's

    I don't think anyone said that LED's don't grow corals Emac909. You obviously are one of LED's success stories and that is great growth. Personally, I have never had great luck with growing SPS with them, and it appears I am not alone. As has been said the hit and miss from one person to...

    Switched back to T5 after using LED's

    This is the second time I have crawled back to T5 after trying LED's! First time I tried were with AI Sol Blues and then most recently an Ecotech Radion Xr15w. LED's do grow corals, I could never seem to keep my SPS colored up the way I wanted though. Who else has crawled back to T5 and wasn't...

    Best bulb combo for t5 fixture to grow corals

    Just a little bit of info for you guys that you might find useful. I have always used ATI bulbs as well. GREAT bulbs. However, my LFS has recently started carrying the new line of Giesemann bulbs. It's a completely different line, as Giesemann redid them in fall of last year. I have a 4 bulb...
