Why not go t5 for lighting you could do it for under 1000 and far better for color and growth then LEDs

Just wanted to give LEDs a try. Like the idea of not dealing with bulb changes.

I went with the reef breeders LED's and was a diehard t5 guy for ever. I am loving the ability to customize the power of the lights throughout the day. The shimmer is also a nice added bonus. As for growth, I've seen may LED tanks with great growth. I picked up my first t5's when Tek was releasing them, and I remember everyone saying they would never be able to grow many corals, and that was disproven. So time will also tell for LED's.

Where does one order the Reefer 450 or Cadlights 100/140g artisan for GVRD people? Seems like a nice upgrade from what I currently have.

There's a store in downtown Vancouver that is taking pre-orders for the Red Sea Reefer (I don't think I can post their name on the forum). Cadlights do not have distribution in Vancouver, but will ship direct to Canada.

Thank you, I was able to find the store online for the Red Sea.

Sucks that Cadlights don't have dealers here, though I did read in another thread that someone was able to pick one up in Manitoba, probably directly from their US website though. I dig the 140g just thinking that 6' is a really good size and it seems pretty plug and play.
