Brand New BRStv Series...

[Bulk Reef Supply]

Today we launched a brand new series: BRStv Investigates. In this series we will explore popular reefing theories, products, methods, and what the manuals are missing, with a focus on putting them to the test!

This week we are talking metal halides:

"Does a single 250 watt double ended bulb perform as well as a 400 watt single ended bulb?"

What do you think? Is this a reef fantasy, reef certainty, inconclusive, or something else??

Tagging for later.

Great video, very interesting in regards to the 250 watt bulbs.

Talked to Ryan a bit at MACNA so this is what he was talking about.

This is super and exactly what the hobby has been needing for a long time.

BRS, also consider that companies will be interested in some of these and by either holding them accountable or proving their worth with good for the hobbyists. So you may looking at getting some of their manufactures support.

I think a great video would be to see how little you actually need to run a hard coral tank. Though not optimal, maybe you can show what are the real necessary equipment and supplies to get started.

Potion juice! With so many magic potions is it even possible to prove/disprove them? However maybe you can show somehow that it's possible they have a real measurable benefit.

Good point, and great suggestions. Thanks!

I would really like to see a video on micro bobble scrubbing. I saw some videos but I would like to know if it's actually a good thing.

I'm pretty sure I saw this topic on the board for possible BRStv Investigates episodes. Fingers crossed that Ryan can fit it in!
