Nice, I had the same fixture on my 120 but with 2 X 400 Radiums. Running Hamilton fixture on a 250 now with 3 X 250 Radiums, ATI B+, C+, 03, and Reefbrite strips. Yours the HO Reefbrites or regular?

Regular Reefbrites, HO are really bright. Mine are only on for dawn and dusk effect. For dusk they come on about 3 hours before the lights go off.
Many Thanks!
lol, that was a tough few years to get to this point. I learned a lot from the recovery though. Hopefully I will not have big problems for some time.
Thank you, the tank just take some dedication, I am sure you can do it too!

Funny how things change in this hobby, I took a break the last 5 years, before that EVERYONE was running GFO, now it seems thinking has changed.

Hi JBNY:
Not sure if you remember me, but many years ago you reached out to me in a thread I started on Michigan Reefers in 2009 titled "pjr goes 100% LED." The thread chronicled the journey of converting a 6 foot 135g tank from halides to all LED, which was quite uncharted territory back in 2009, especially with large tanks. That thread has pretty much gone dormant in the last 3 years, but did achieve 30,000 views the last time I checked.
Anyhow, you offered to send me a few frags back a few years ago Maybe 2013?) primarily because you wanted to see if I could grow pink SPS under LED. Attached is a pinch of the middle and right of the tank. You "frag" is the pink table starting at the left edge of the pic. To answer your question... yes, it can be done!
Hope all is well. If you need some frags to help kick-start efforts, let me know.

The SPS growth your getting is amazing! You clearly know what you're doing - fantastic. Let me ask... the tank pre-crash was really awesome also. What happened with the tank crash? Having a bunch of acros in my tank also, I'm always interested to know where things went sideways for folks. Anything you could share that we should avoid? Again, your tank is amazing - thanks!
