    3w led vs led chip

    There is some evidence that 1W are actually more efficient than 3W LEDs. It gets really tough to figure all of this out, as the manufactures list...

    Best Skimmer at any Price

    That is a little misleading, from the article I listed, they only removed about 20-30% of testable TOC. However, there were also some organics that...

    Red tint to water

    The You Tell Me Poll

    They will certainly eat coralline algae. Is there any around the base? I suppose it's possible you have an savage urchin though :) Or perhaps...

    Dual or single over flow

    I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head. I think the marineland is 700gph and aqueon are advertised at about 600gph each. So, I think they do claim...

    Is this a CREE fixture? There is plenty of red in the CREE NW and WW LEDs, so, red is not necessary IMO and prone to issues. Red and Blue makes...

    Dual or single over flow

    Dual or single over flow

    How big of a cleanup crew for a 20 gallon?
