Think the “crabs” are snails. 🤷🏼‍♂️

No crabs? I keep the whites at 60%. Blues at 50%. Need a PAR meter I think.

Here is where I am currently. Can never get the blue to look right with the iPhone.

That’s an awesome tank! That’s what I’m shooting for...on a smaller scale. That opens so many other questions for me..but I’ll curb the ADD for now. I have 2 Light time tunnel lights. Got them from Amazon when I started.

Tank is 5 years old.

Read the Chinese black box don’t support SPS growth. Read that Halide and t5 in combo with Decent LED lughts support good coral growth for SPS and LPS.

My levels are good. Nitrate 0. Po4-.02

Looking to figure out how to operate these. Contacted AI. They have sent some videos, but I have more specific questions. Thanks!!!

I tried to grow some SPS in the past using the black box....with no luck. Got some Hydra's for cheap. Was going to use T5 lights as well....wanted to know thoughts. Know where to get T5 fixtures and lights for cheap? Thanks for the reply!

The fixture? Thanks!!!!

Where did you get the housing for the bulbs?

What do you use. Thanks for answering my questions.

Sorry. Another question. Would a t5 fixture be the same as the basic shop lights...the white hanging lights that use Fluorescent bulbs?

Thanks. What kind of lights are you running?

So can you get halide still or are they hard to find? Costly? Think T5 is a bad option then? Thanks for the clarification!!!!

So I thought I understood lighting to some extent, but now I need some more info. Is there a difference between T5 and metal halide? I’m looking to add some tube lighting to my tank...maybe. Also curious if this is a good idea as I read this type of light is phasing out. Want to do it so I can...

Thanks! So what are you running your lights at currently. I know very little about the lights. I see there is a coral acclimation setting. How long would you suggest using that?

Currently using the Chinese black box. LPS does OK with them, but really want some SPS to grow.

So I just got a used pair of Hydra 1st Gen lights with controller, but no director. They are older LED’s. Looking to maybe use them and combine them with some T5’s on my 75 gallon. Looking to see what other people do. Might sell them and then try to get a set up for roughly $500.00. Don’t...

Thanks
