Thanks for kind comments,Aqua chemist ive had loads of issues over the years not least monti nudis and aefw.On both occasions i threw the colonies in question in the bin as no amount of dip seemed to work.Then ive had all the usual like cyano,aiptasia,teddybear crabs and bubble algae.I think its all part of the hobby an absolute b**tard at the time but i would be supprised if any tank could get through without at least two of the above.
Markalot i was using up until feb this year an ati power module 8x54w but have changed to 2x sicce am466,and i suppliment them with a kessil 360 just cause i like the shimmer.I realise the sicce are not popular in the states due to lack of control(only sunrise/sunset)and the ridiculous price but i had seen some fabulous tanks in italy with them.I needed Something large as my colonys are big and shadowing would be a major issue so the sicces fitted the bill plus i got an excellent deal(nearly half price).To be fair ive had no losses,bleaching,browning since changing over-they don't have quite as much punch as the t5's but theres not that much in it but like t5's they produce no shimmer so i added a kessil.Bulb combos i tried many but a good all rounder is 4 super blues 3 new generation 1fiji purple all kz
