He posted to have a lot of high end sps, but from the pictures all I see is green so I didn't bother to check it out. Maybe is his lighting that cause it

after talking to a few long term led reefers i have chose to add a t5ho fiji purple to my ai sol blues.... apparently others using the same leds with a fiji purple bulb to fill in the spectrum gaps are getting comparable growth to their mh so once the pb is healed im putting that light on the reef with a new tube till i can make a custom led bar but gotta wait for the finaces to co-operate first

the hardest part was allowing flow to push everywhere so detritis doesnt buildup i have nearly 60x turnover in my tank with 10x through sump but everything loves it and dont even need to blow my rocks off.... one of my powerheads i actualy swapped the good cage out for one with the nub broken so the entire back wall constantly gets flushed out and the 3 other power heads and return pump blowing the rest of the tank.... my caves were also strategically placed to allow flow in and around rockwork.

its just a major pain trying to move stuff in a full tank still have 2 grow out rack i need to pull out thats those brick looking things
