    Just wanted to say hello to you all. I've had my reef tank for 2 years. I just located this site last week while doing research on LED lights. I currently have the Outer Orbit 4 T5/ 2 250 MH combo above my 90 gallon tank.

    I was looking at the Orphek set up but I am not too crazy about the "lack of" mounting system the light supports. I love the reviews on them though. If they'd ever come out with a mounting system similar to the Ecoxotic panorama fixture my wife would be all for me spending the cash for them.

    I am currently seeking out different ways to rid my tank of problem GSP and green button polyps. The two are starting to grow onto my SPS's and I need to act quickly!

    I will post some pictures of my tank shortly.

    Shawn

    Welcome. The Orpheks don't get much spread, but on a 90 you'd be good. Why not try 2 AIs? That would be fine, and you would get US tech support and lots of control.
    Oh yeah, and GSP will never die unless you bleach it or shoot it with poison.

    I am starting to like this idea of poisoning! Any suggestions? The AI's are next on my list, just have not done much research on them yet.

    Welcome to the forum. Don't get crazy. Don't poison coral. Use an exacto knife and simply cut the GSP mat and peel away what you don't want and give the removed mat to LFS or someone else.
