Thank you!

I'm shutting down the tank. I peaked... Can't go any higher than this so I'm going to start collecting stamps. Going for stamp collector of the month in 2 years![emoji2960]. Keep your eyes peeled for my name! [emoji12]

Don't get philato confused with philatio dude!

Thanks guys for all your support in this thread. You guys kept me going and helped encourage me to persevere through the good and the bad. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

really a fantastic article for a fantastic reef .. I would like to ask you a question .. have you ever thought about replacing your main light in the main reef and putting in an aquaticlife Hybrid plus radion g4? in this way you would save electricity and heat by having the same colors ... what do you think about it?

All kidding aside that's a fantastic looking tank.

Do you have any sump pics? I looked around but it's too many pages to sift through

I actually prefer T5s over the display for viewing from the front. Plus, the cost of buying the light fixtures would greatly outweigh any cost savings for me, even in the long run.

Same colors would be nice but I just prefer T5 for front viewing pleasure.

Sump is nothing special... Just a resealed 75-gallon I've used for 6 years now.

but with t5 plus radion are the front colors not good? why does this happen if there are still t5s?

Not a good or bad color... Just more of a preference. I prefer mainly T5 lit displays.

ok, but based on what do you prefer? more brightness? more brilliance? if you were to recommend a light for a 120x55x55 (cm) reef what would you recommend (mainly sps and a few lps on the bottom)?

I think we already discussed this via PM a couple months ago Peppe. Radions with T5s was my recommendation if I remember correctly.
