I didn't read through all the above posts, so it may have been said, but I think if nothing else this can show you that there are many ways to a successful reef, especially with lighting.   LED (my favorite), t5, mh are all great choices, each with pro's and con's.   You can even grow some decent corals with pc lights.   ]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:34:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63244&PID=516394&title=lighting#516394 <![CDATA[Lighting : Just poking around and was wondering...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63244&PID=516296&title=lighting#516296 Author: jdubb925

Just poking around and was wondering if anyone has tried these or think this combination would work, or if it just looks to "fishy"

+1 here. I've bought two retrofit kits that have been great.

It's a 16 gallon bowfront Dimensions: 20"L x 13"W x 18"H


I have the same light but just in the 48in version and it does great with my softies and Lps and anemone. I can't say anything about SpS because they die but I think is because of lack of nutrients. I would recommend it. If you have questions about this light ask me]]> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:31:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63244&PID=514946&title=lighting#514946 <![CDATA[Lighting : how about these?http://www.ama...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63244&PID=514930&title=lighting#514930 Author: ajsahm

I know this really shows my inexperience but what limitations do you think I would have in terms of the corals I could introduce. ]]> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:56:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63244&PID=514929&title=lighting#514929 <![CDATA[Lighting : That fixture would be good.

That fixture would be good. It has two ballasts so you can have two at a time on if you wanted.plus it has moon lights which are awesome.
