    Low Light Acro? Fragging Results

    Those aren't acros, they are non-photosynthetic corals... They need to be fed, as they do not harbor zooxanthellae and do not use or need ANY light.

    Low Light Acro? Fragging Results

    "Deep water" for acros just means "not directly on the reef flat", but still less than 10M. The reef flat in the tropics would typically get well...

    Caribbean Live Sand?

    Low Light Acro? Fragging Results

    No acro likes "low" light. Some acros like "medium" light, but that is still usually defined as 200-500 PAR :) With 175s you should be able to acro...

    PAR38 LED Question?

    The rapids are nice. They don't really have any color options though. They are also lower wattage (17W), so, not as much punching power. Exoctic...

    bio pellet reactor bacteria bloom sps ok?
