My 2 Cents. When I had LED's I tried a few different kinds. I found that they were perfect for some corals and horrible for others. I found T5's were one of the good all around with the best being metal halides. After trying a few different LED configurations and types and even...

I remember when my dad took me to Mc Corory's Department Store to buy a fish tank. The fish were beautiful and Cichlids were like the Gem Tangs of today. Most stores would have a single saltwater tank with a few damsels. It ws amazing to see and purchasing our first Oscar Fish was a milestone!
For this new build I afforded my self a lot of space under my tank. I currently

Funny enough I have been debating this same idea for QUITE some time now. Generally speaking a lot of people say that running the UV will ultimately kill beneficial bacteria and pods etc. John Coppolino says that in his experience (dealing with fish costing over 10/20K) in his personal systems...
Hey Guys I have at my disposal 4 Tunze 6095's. I currently have a custom peninsula tank and was wondering if I would be safe placing the 4 Tunzes on the tank facing the wall. This is a SPS and LPS dominant tank.
