Corals in the limelight: Are you happy with your lighting?
Our satisfaction of the lights over our tank is not always directly related to the cost of the lights. While more expensive lights may perform well, and we may choose to resign ourselves to lower performance results if we have less expensive lights, this is not always the case. After struggling to find a satisfactory nano light, I recently added a Pico LED light from Reef Breeders for both a small saltwater and a freshwater tank. While they are reasonably priced, I am very pleased with their performance. It is also possible for us to select very nice lights, but not be pleased with them because they aren’t the best light for our situation. Regardless of what you paid for your tank lighting or what the retail price was for the lights, are you happy with your lighting?

“We differentiate ourselves from other vendors by offering our customers full transparency into our facility and practices. Setting the industry standard for shipping techniques, accurate high-quality photos, hard to find corals, and customer service. For some hobbyists buying live coral online can seem like a risky endeavor. At WWC our staff takes the worry out of the equation by culturing extremely healthy corals, giving you a hassle-free guarantee, and providing you with a full online customer service team to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase.”
