    This is my mostly sps and chalice dominated tank. My lighting is a solaris led, basic filtration, 10 gallon Fuge and been dosing vodka for 2 months. I have gotten my sps to color up alot even though alot of people on here said leds couldnt grow sps.

    what type of LEDs do you have. i was looking at lighting for my 10 gal and this looks cool and energy efficient. how do they grow in there?

    you get your fish drunk?! I've never heard of this before... although i have always thought my fish were more of a rum kinda fish lol. I think i am going to be looking into this vodka dosing.

    i use the solaris led fixture. I belive they are high power 3 watt leds. They have been growing great since getting my mag up. I will find the article on vodka dosing for you. It seems to do good. no nitrates or phosphate since starting.

    VERY nice looking tank! Is there more shimmer in person? I always figured LED fixtures would throw loads of shimmer, but I dont see much in your pics.
