Leds often leads to photo inhibition from to much par. Spectrum may not be as favorable, but par is non issue. Diy leds could have way more par. So...
Looks like a fuge!!! That ball will be big before you know it!

You have a skimmer too right? As long as you have good Macro growth and can export via algae faster than you input it's fine. There is a point where...

Yup, you will probably only find the 4500 and 6500k bulbs. Either work about as well. I had to order 5100k on the web. I found some experiment a...
Absolutely, it's even encouraged. So long as it's pest free, the addition of live rock from multiple sources gives you additional bio-diversity...
