As far as Giesemann fixtures go, I have only seen maybe two people with them, so I can't imagine commenting on a fixture that doesn't really have...
The 8 lamp fixture would be great on a 90 with one exception, it will hang over the tank a bit, the reflectors won't but the actual fixture body will...
If the corals are browning out and its not do to lack of PAR then it is either elevated nutrient levels or the kH is too high...
To my knoweledge the Outer Orbit is a MH or MH/T5 fixture... The Nova Extreme and Extreme pro are T5 fixtures.... Outer Orbit HQI/T5HO | Current...
Its most likely not the membrane, it is the carbon pre filter... How often are you changing those? Call your water plant and ask them if they use...
I have seen PAR tests of the Solaris that was good and seeing them at trade shows they were alright.... but dim, not bright like T5 or MH... Too bad...
Solar wrasse? Great fish, active and pretty... Ships terrible so I would look for one at a LFS that has been there awhile as compared to ordering...
The MAIN difference is the Hippos that come from the Red Sea as they have a YELLOW belly. They don't have other geological color morphs aside from...
I would say its fine... As long as you go with a decent fixture and lamps. Remember water quality is almost as important with SPS as lighting is!!

Gexx, forget the PCs they are not worth your time even looking at, waste of money and electricity, plus lamp replacement will be a pain in your a$$...
I would go with this combo for white with slightly blue^^^^ Everyone is beating me to the punch today! Looks like it is time to retire!8)
I would do 3 Blue+, Fiji Purple and two Aquablue+, first and last being ATI.... Whoops, wow, without reading anyposts I recommended the same blend...
They both need good flow steve but the one on the left, who's name elludes me, need serious flow or detritus will build up in the stalks Nice...
On a 40 breeder a Tek 4 lamp would be perfect, get a 36 Tek and your mounting/hanging components and you are set, way cheaper than a MH set up and a...
So you are gettting 6 reflectors, and six lamps and the three ballasts? Does this include stand offs to hold the waterproof endcaps? Sorry I didnt...
Yeah, in my eyes same goes with hydnophora, it doesn't really have individual polyps they look like the feeding tentacles of a LPS..... If I had to...
