For the torch people since I have no room to collect them.

Taiwan holy grail and an Aussie gold.

The power of Reefbrites cant be denied, when combine with T5 the two produce some of the nicest colors on SPS you can find around. Is not all about higher PAR as some have been pushing recently to sell others products. Reefbrite is a proven LED and your tank is a very good example of it, beautiful!

I was meaning to get a photo today. Pieces of the ocean has 3 tanks that soley run off reefbrites.

Gonis, montis, torches, favias, acans all the goodie goodies That like the deep blues medium intensity lights. All absolutely thrive with growth and color under reef Brites.


I used to run 4 on both of my tanks but removed 1 off the back of each because they were reallt necessary.

You know what was pretty odd. Ive never done really really well with millis. Yes i have a few that do good, but they always have taken a long time to settle in for me. So I had gotten 3 half red half yellow rainbow splices in the last few months or so. Got something like 8 frags from ARC of just the green since I like it soley as a milli.

One of my dc smurfettes that was growing next to the first splice just completely butchered itself withen the first month of putting them side by side. Now theres a catch, I had two dc smurfette colonys next to eachother also. One just grafted while the otherone is growing out nicely. I cut It up to see if I can grow the frag out standalone but it nearly killed the growout piece I have. I came across a thread the other day of someone saying the same thing. Just found it really interesting. Polyps arent out from handling. Otherwise they look great.

You know what, same thing here. I never had any luck with millis, I keep them alive and color was good but they dont grow at all, maybe a bit of encrusting and then a few months later some RTN. I have now JF Solar flare and a ASD rainbow and the colors is even better from the time I got them, still new in the tank and will see how they do in the future.

I also used to run reefbrites, front and back off the radions in my old 4 tank. I upgraded tank just two months ago and now I'm running five 24' reefbrites front to back of the tank in between of the radions as tank is 30" wide.

In this picture I had 3, but now is 5.

Thank you, so far he is the king of the tank, lol. Fun to watch and no issues so far with the others tangs (Gem, Powder blue, purple and blue hippo).

God the afterparty is so nice. Here's a growout, my main dt colony completely haulted growth. I've just been cutting chunks off to get it to start filling out again. Canada pretty in pink this is like my 4th growout. Such a nice old-school piece.

Uc Jd jr growout. Looks completely different then my main colony. Coral has many faces.

Surprisingly for the last year. These lights have tackled every single aspect of coral care.

Only the real heavy light sps didn't benefit much from them. The encrusters and plates do extremely well with them.

this was nasty, its an aussie rainbow tenuis.
