Hmmm, perhaps I should go upstairs and grab a cold cider before bed. Or a Xanax...I think the great Paulb would reccomend a Chardonnay.

Xanax, cider, stare at tank.Hmmm, perhaps I should go upstairs and grab a cold cider before bed. Or a Xanax...
Amen!Xanax, cider, stare at tank.
I'll check it out. Thanks!To help further ameliorate your concern about your lights, Dana did a MACNA talk a year or two ago about lighting and his research showed coral growth actually topped out around or a little above 100 par and over 200 corals actually shut down to protect themselves. I believe BRS has the video in their YouTube play list.

Yup. sorry, newb mistake.In this situation, probably a Pino Noir
80 depends on the coral and amount of time.Sorry I didn't read through this whole thing. I see you guessed the corals didn't die from low PAR. This is correct. 80 PAR can keep corals alive. They will not grow and likely be dark brown though. A coral dying from lack of light is usually, a change from normal color to brown, followed by stn. Pale or lightening of the coral is too much light or a water chemistry issue .
Do your reef and yourself a favor, if you're really serious about sps, then go t5 or halide or both. period..... zsu
I belive he prefers snark brands.What T5 fixture would you suggest for sps tanks?

Metal Halide hybrids from reef brite tell him saltyLol [emoji38], quick question do you have personal experience with the sb reef lights. Starting a (hopefully if all goes as planned) sps dominant 40g IM Nuvo (24x16x19) and looking for some lighting suggestions. A lot of people recommend AI Hydra 26 or 2 primes. Would love to hear any suggestions you have!

Agreed.On a serious note, the LET retro kit is pretty nice for the price. Comes with decent reflectors and is dimmable for an extra $5.

And only reefbrights MH if you really want it go big!! And ;StigMetal Halide hybrids from reef brite tell him salty
Or pull the lenses , takes it from directed 40 ,60,90 to 160 degrees.They'll work fine. I ran them for a few months but wanted to use my canopy and that just wasn't possible with the SB Reef fixtures (they need to sit higher off the water to blend well). The fit and finish of the boxes is poor at best but you can expect much more for the price. If you want to run a canopy, you'll need something with about 12" under the hood to work. Oh, I'd avoid the white fixture; it really shows blemishes (I tried the white ones in an effort to help them disappear against the white walls).
