So, I promised you guys a big change and here it is...Now let me go on record in saying I am STILL a huge fan of Kessil LED lighting. However, something fell into my lap that I could not pass up. As of today I am no longer the Kessil Koolaid man, the kessils have been put away for a little bit. I am now running a Metal Halide T5 hybrid over the tank! I'm really excited to see how the corals respond to the gold standard of reef tank lighting. So to those who dont want to see me hanged for leaving the kessils behind, I ask that you follow me on this journey to see how corals respond both in color and in growth

Nice!!! Tank looks amazing with that light.

By the way man.......what is your filtration??

I have an Eshopps Eclipse S that runs down to a single filter sock, then through a Reef Octopus 110INT skimmer, my refugium, then return pump.

Sorry for the new sump uglies, its since been cleaned out
