Lol at least I can buy a few peppermints and have a decent chance they'll eat them in such a small tank. Between wrasses and way more rock to hide in and forage for tastier morsels the 8 I bought either perished or ignored the aiptasia.

i can honestly say that throwing modular leds into my cube was one of the best upgrades ive done. 2:1 rb:nw is the way to go hands down IMO. im running 26 leds at 65, and 75% and my sps still thinks its a little much. the heatsink and all that fits into the hood just fine if you shave off some of the heatsink. i hit 82 once this summer but i think it was cause i have i skimmer feed pump, one skimmer pump a return pump and a circulation pump all running in my sump. i should probably plumb my skimmer into the overflow one of these days
oh and if you do buy from martin make sure you get the antec true silent fan, the only way to hear it is by touching my ear to my hood, super silent.

Over a year and a half on LEDs and my sps are still growing. I still have almost all of my original pieces except for the large colonies I've sold or given away...

Don't buy a new bulb, figure out your LED lighting. You won't regret it.

I didn't think you'd be back so soon, welcome back

I actually ordered two lol. I think they'll get harder to find so Dave's going to ask his suppliers to dig around in the warehouse trash cans to find a couple.

Down the road if I ever find myself upgrading to something a little bit bigger (zero chance I know what you're thinking) I'm sure the technology will be there. If I liked a single tank I've seen under LED more than halides I wouldn't hesitate to invest but regardless of what manufacturers claim I see disco ball effect in EVERY tank.

Yeah Mike and one of my skimmers once became yours. Somehow we could create a space-time continuity hiccup if we're not careful here!
