You need to find a new store! :p

Come over, I'll give ya a few frags!

The information for this light fixture is in the post below this one but wanted to share the par values and the information associated, have this unit running for a while now let me know what you guys think about the par values.

I only have SPS colonies in the frag tank no LPS or any other corals.

I used a apogee mq 510 unit.

Been toying around with the idea of changing out the light over the 60 gallon tank a little while now, actually did the change out quite some time ago but didn't want to post anything until I get my numbers and was able to show growth with this new light. This isn't your typical reefers T5, it's made more for growing plants then growing coral but it still a T5 fixture and it cost a third of what the big box units.

Of course I replaced the T5 bulbs that it came with using ATI bulbs and it's been working pretty well.

These are great fixtures. Even though bulbs need replacing. I know a few people near me that are running them :)

Some fine looking adds you've got there Alex!

That's really good to hear; would you happen to know if they tested both initial PAR values, and subsequent readings at the 6-7month interval?

No I don't but will ask next time I go visit. They did have excellent color and growth from what I've seen however.

I'm afraid my good friend Alex @143MPCo had to take this one down. It was a very sad day.
