Hi, I'm selling a 48 inch 4 bulb ATI Sunpower unit. This unit is used, but everything necessary to run the unit is included (no bulbs). I finally made the jump to LED and have supplemental T5, so I don't have a use currently for this unit. I'm located in Santa Barbara (technically Goleta...

After having success in my little 3 gallon cube reef I decided to turn an aqueon 2.5 gallon tank into an aio peninsula style for my girlfriend to have a small reef on her desk, I’ve run into an issue where the same light (cheap $15 Nicrew clip on) that I’ve had on my cube and had great coral...

I have been using a Ledzeal mirage x200LED light above my coral frag tank. I don't have a PAR meter, but I do have a HOBO logger to log Lux values. Because I have selected a blue-heavy spectral composition, I was going to use a conversion factor of 30 in my equation PPFD = Lux / conversion...

Hi all, I’m working on setting up by 8ft 200 gal aquarium. I’ve researched and exhausted myself trying to figure out what I should do lighting wise. Historically I’ve been a radion user, but the price point of the new ones are so high. I’m not opposed to spending a good chunk on lighting up...

Hey all! I’m working on setting up my 200 gal setup that has been in storage for a few years. I’ve always been an eco tech radion user, but the new g6 models are so expensive. I’m wondering if anyone recommends any other brands and has good luck with them? I’m not opposed to investing in...

Hi All! I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the 6 gallon reef casa frag tank (or a similar sized frag tank). I was looking to order lighting, and I am seeing mixed reviews if the Ai Prime 16hd would be too strong. Would you recommend something else? Or is Ai Prime the way to go...

Hello all. I’ve had this 20 gallon Innovative Marine setup for about 3 months. This was moved from a 13.5 gallon bow front. I’ve setup this aquascape and placed the corals based off of some research. But mainly based my placement off of aesthetics. Was wondering if there’s anything I should...

After searching for a week to find 250W ballast, it was fruitless. Long story short ended up buying used icecaps for 75$ each. While new was 200-300$ Tried to horticulture and well they run 600w or 1000w systems. Looked at bulbs and also thought this is ridiculous. Long story short thinking...
