SO i am looking for some ideas for the lighting of my frag area.

Its on the left hand side of the pictures, and the area is 18 x 20 x 8in water depth.

I was first thinking t5s, but then thought about a 150wt mh. then

I seen those vipers 70wt but wasnt sure if they would be worth it or not.

LED did come to mind as well, LOL. pretty much any kind of light came to mind, but i cant nail anything down.

any ideas ???????

I think some t5s still. Light up every last bit of those frags and make them happy.

What's on the tray in your sump? You curing your frag plugs?

yeah just some Boston aquafarm plugs and disks that i had for a while and once i set up the new system i added them in during the cycle so if they had any p04 it would be dissolved by the time SPS hit the water.

if i go with t5s then it woul dhave to be a 24 in fixture.

John i see you don't run the lid on your zeo reactor. do you dose the start food and back right into the reactor then instead of fighting to get it in the pump intake?

Did you read on the zeo start 3 yet?

Yeah I took it off as i found it sticking when trying to stir the zeolites, it works way better for stirring now.
I still dose outside the RX to get taken up by the pump.

oh yeah start3, I knew they were going to make this more user friendly,
start2 is pretty easy to overdose, the new biomate seems intresting as well.
I hope its avaible by the december holidays.

Here are two pics, one is a coral I recently picked up, it has a hystrix growing on its tip.
