Exactly. Rock and sand from an established system is already "cycled" (IOW, populated with mature bacterial colonies which can multiply and spread...
I just have a 2x24 T5; it's on 10 hours per day. Lunar LEDs run all night.
Bump for the evening crowd. This could be a very useful thread. :)
Great video, and an excellent idea. Should be made a sticky. :)
Sounds like you're on the right track. The only issue I see is, you will need a lot more flow for sps corals- roughly 50x turnover rate or higher...
You've gotten a lot of great advice, and are making the right decision. Just wanted to add a few things I've learned in my 39 years as a SW aquarist:...

Agreed, one of them will have to go.
Great to know... thank you. :)
Very beautiful as always John, and you are right- the colors are getting richer. Wonder what the relation is to removing GAC... Anything you can...
