Default Not 100 Gallons but here is our LED Tank



Up since the summer, corals are ok, i'd like to see more blue but Ecoxotic are apparently in the stages of getting something controllable out.

I have a 8 bulb t5 and in the process of upgrading to LED...
thought about going with MH, but a 6 foot 3 x 250W MH fixture is already ~$1500, add in ballast ~$400, 3 MH bulbs say $120 each and 4 x T5 bulbs @ $22 each
that is already ~$2500 for the whole set up.
every year to year and half another $400 for bulb changes + electricity cost
within 2-3 yrs it already pays for a $4000 LED fixture.
