Thank you for posting. The corals are looking great. I love the way you have the Rock set up. I love the Black Tang. I am looking forward to seeing your next video providing a status update of the differences and observations. It looks like you have more Corals on the MH side. Tom

Hi all-
We'd like to invite you to take a look at an experiment we're doing with the 800g display tank at the store. Half of the tank is lit by metal halides and half by LED's. We've created this webpage to explain the set up and chronicle the experiment- take a look!

Link says page does not exist.

this got revived LOL

Page may not exist due to it being almost 6 years old.

I did a similar side by side 9 years ago before I ditched all my Metal Halide gear, granted 9 years ago all I heard was how LEDs wouldn't grow my acros
Still laughing at that today as I laughed backed then

Ahh, my bad. I need to pay attention to post dates.
