    Which lighting fixture should I use for my tank?

    LED/Hybrid, ATI T5, or Metal Halide? I have all 3 of them.

    reef breaders make a cool fixture, boost leds are good as well, there are a ton of dealers on here that sell them but I think reefbreeders makes one of the better cheeper fixtures.

    there are two boost led fixtures on the for sale thread now I think. led+T5 are nice to ;D

    Skimmer.


    love the high of my stand (42" high)...I can remove in/out my huge Bubble King Skimmer easily. Take this huge skimmer out to sell it to a friend.

    Bought a new alpha 250 vertex cone skimmer for my tank. It's very small compare to the 300 alpha cone skimmer.

    Very nice skimmer, as for your lighting....is there a price range you are wanting to stick to?

    I already have 3 fixture in hand but I'm not decide which one should I go...I do not care about the price.
