    mushroom coral moving

    how often do you clean the neck of your skimmer?

    perhaps a stupid question.....surely a stupid question....

    New T5 Fixture for 110G Mixed Reef

    That should be plenty of light, but switching from LEDs, probably not overpowered. I would run the T5s at 10hrs/day, and start the HIDs at 4 then...
