Reeftech Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Now you can get an idea area that they will need to be spaced from other corals.They will sting other coral and can be stung also. Quick question.What do i need to do since my clowns keep kicking sand into my acans.Should i keep dumping it out or let the acan push it out.Moving it is only a temp fix because they like redecorating the whole tank all the time.

Not trolling, but I really like those.. not to mention for 25 dollars more I get a warranty, the non DIY look, and the peace of mind knowing it will work Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not to be mean. But I guess you can call me hipster for owning the ai nano sol or preferrably leds with only blue and whites. But I kinda like it more than full spectrum because I don't like too colorful of a lighting on the tank......just my perspective. Sooo if you just like blues and whites, then I'd say gor for ai sol blue. Otherwise, get a razor for full spectrum. It probably won't do lightning but at least if you're looking for full spectrum then there's that option. Like said, I only like to wear blue/gray/white/black clothing, and surely would love just blue and whites on lighting. Colorful is not my thing, style. Link to comment

Not trolling, but I really like those.. not to mention for 25 dollars more I get a warranty, the non DIY look, and the peace of mind knowing it will work I don't think anyone has written a "thunderstorm" code for the typhon controller YET and no wireless remote to change your lights from the couch, but c'mon... no extra coral growth from "thunderstorms"... fish/ coral won't be any healthier because of it... and with most reefers trying to replicate shallow reefs, full spectrum is more natural... unless you are doing a "deep reef" all the extra blue you usually see in tanks is just someones color preference, if you like more blue, use more royal blue leds... if you build it and find you don't like the color then swapping out a solderless cree led for a different color is 3 screws... did you look at the link? Have you seen the Makers led heatsink/ fixture? It looks very professional and not like a typical diy... just my opinion... won't hurt my feelings... :-p Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Here's a full spectrum led lighting called onyx ahahah Definitely not remote-able though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONYX-LED-REEF-AQUARIUM-FIXTURES-BY-RAPID-LED-/390536318221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aedc74d0d Kinda looks like the Ai sol blue lololol.

Fiddle with it a bit to see if you can get it dislodged. Also, that is a ridiculously good deal on that craigslist ad. Link to comment
