Sweet man, I might need you to hook me up with some frags someday soon.
Are your fire gobies schoaling together?

Just PM me anytime

. They seem to be separated into 2 groups now of 5 and five. They've adjusted very well and nobody bothers them. I do have a lot of fish, just over 40.

They are Eco Ray Leds. I had them lower when I had my 20 gallon, and they were almost too bright and the corals high up were colouring up well and almost bleaching so I raised them up. Yet the corals just outside the spread zone were browning. They are too directed down so I raised them up as high as I could to get better spread and not burn the corals. Apparently they were designed to be mounted 4' above the tank. Only time will tell. I went LEDs to save on energy. 3 at 60 watts is only 180 watts compared to my several 150 watt and 250 watt halides on my frags before.

My LEDs on my display tank have been running for just under 3 months now and I don't see any loss of colour or decline in growth. So that's good news. Those are the cheap ebay ones that are on my display. I'm happy with them so far.

It wasn't this seller, but they are these ones. I can't remember the seller but they were similar in price. Hope this helps.

By the fall I should know wether I will sell my halides or not. That'll be the 6 month mark with those LEDs. So far so good though.

Sorry if you've posted this previously (I'm feeling lazy this morning), but do you run supplemental T5s with these as well?
