Awesome video Adam! Gives me great assurance knowing you use t5s and have success with sps under them. Also funny your son already knows about clowns. Pretty cool!

Thanks a lot! you really can hardly go wrong with t5's they don't have quite the punch of a good halide or led even but over all sps thrive under them

That wasn't too bad, better than I would have done anyway, lol. Great to see some insight on your system. I'd love to hear some specs on what keeps all those sticks looking so good.

Video was great! You have a stunning sps collection and using different types of lighting systems. Those shallow tanks are great for growing sps and you can really ramp up the flow to get a tidal wave effect. Seems you have more stashed away for future releases judging by what was shown, lol...

Sweet! Let us know, I run pretty heavy actinic T5 so I want to run the best that I can get my hands on.

Finally got around to watching this video. What combo are you running, and how does it compare to ATI bulbs? I'm using 6 bulbs:

Front to back:
RB LEDs
B+
C+
P+
B+
Actinic
C+
RB LEDs

Not a big fan of the ATI B+ bulbs. It's too Windex like. Hard to explain, but I find even RB LEDs nicer to look at.

Great to see the setups you have. Hopefully I'll be able to swing by at the end of this month when I'm in your area and grab some things in person. Great job Adam
