They probably carry it because it sells well to beginners. It is shameful how much money new hobbyists often end up wasting on Coralife. The products aren't even that cheap.

They don't keep accurate time (my lights kept turning on/off later and later in the day), and one of the dials failed to turn my lights off after about 8 months of use. I can't recommend using one.

Thanks! It is a seahorse tank. Keeping it cool lowers than chance of infections, which seahorses are susceptible to. 73-74 F is pretty common for seahorse tanks.

I switched from a Tek light T-5 to a Kessel LED last year and wouldn't go back just because I hated spending money on bulbs.

Goes to show you can't judge them all by a single one! It would have been great if the only travel was aboard the dive boat.

Cozumel has far better diving. The water is extremely clear. My only complaint was the travel time. Playa/Cozumel have similar reef life, but the dive sites are in better condition in Cozumel and you...

API is OK for calcium. I always got reasonable values using it. My main issue was losing count of the drops! I wouldn't recommend the Seachem calcium test as the color change is hard to see (although...

It is too much light for the tank, especially since it can't be dimmed. The Kessil's put out a very strong beam of light, especially directly beneath them. I took PAR readings on my A350, while it is...

Microalgae do not require a prolonged period of darkness to "breath oxygen". Microalgae require ATP to fix CO2. They produce ATP only when illuminated, and therefore will not fix CO2 in darkness. As...
