that just seems unreal! Maybe I should read through comments first but I just cant see how a tank like this could ‘crash’ without sabbatage, (other than say a lengthy power outage) obviously you (owner) are experienced enough and knowledgeable enough of marine aquaria to have such a beast in the first place….just don’t see how….and to blame the RO filter? have to elaborate if ya get back on here
i hope that u could tell me about your achiles tang, did u have any problem with them! i never have a good luck with them , alway die on me , main reason is ick problem…..
I’ve seen the tank’s on reef central and all the “tank of the month” use halide lighting. I’m just going by experience of better growth I get vs. T-5 but if it works then by all means try it……personally…..halide is best for me
I lost my camera recently so i can’t upload any video of my tank. Instead of going with the T-5′s if you can afford it go with the halide 150 because The SPS’s are going to need the high intensity lighting that T-5′s can’t provide however, it is good for LPS, mushrooms and soft corals…..Good Luck and Happy Reefing
The brighter the better but what the temperature of your water. I would hookup a chiller if you go with the 250 watt halides. I have an SPS tank but i use the 150watt and they are doing great with no chiller needed.

Check out my videos. I use 2 retrofit kits running 4 54 watt bulbs. A_M_A_Z_I_N_G color! Very little heat. I use 3 blues one white.

SPS stands for “small polyp stony” and LPS “large polyp stony” both are still reef tanks.

sps corals are hard corals whey diffrent from your everyday soft low light corals

buriantwAugust 4, 2011 at 4:04 pm

drummerian24August 4, 2011 at 4:11 pm

Amazing, but I shudder to think how much money went into this!! Excellent work.

It can be done seriously, ive seen some really nice SPS tanks with T-5′s have a look on reef central.
