    RBTA odd observation with lights

    This tank is 12"? So, 2" off the bottom would be 24" from the light? Where is the BTA? From the Boost LED website, the max PAR of their MU135...

    Does Base Rock Leach Phosphate?

    Yeah, the LFS wants you to spend more money... Live rock is no different than base rock really. Either can leach phosphates. So, like live rock, you...

    do i have too many crabs

    I think a few hermits can be okay, but they are opportunist and can be destructive. Personally, in that sized tank, I wouldn't want more than a few.

    Lps seem to losing color

    Some corals take a long time to adjust to different spectrum IME. How old are the bulbs? If new, then that could be why. If old, then I would...

    Uv sterilizer, should I get?

    I'm not sure our tanks do well. It's fairly well understood that growth rates in captivity pale in comparison to in the ocean. That said, in the...

    No more skimmate? Problem or Good?

    You may have answered your own question. Oversized skimmers tend to be inconsistent at best. There seems to be somewhat of a limit to what skimmers...

    LED Spectral Analysis: Cree, Rebel, larger Bridgelux, a few "chinese" LEDs

    OCD about Aquascaping, who's with me?
