These are the mr16's that I have seen a few edge owners use. They work great for coral.

which type of mr16s though? theres too many on that page haha. i need to purchase some mr16s though, my mr11s are beginning to corrode because they lack a cover. my splash guard helps but in the long run i need some mr16s

had a fatality today. my emerald crab fell off of a rock i was moving and straight into my anemone. got gobbled up

Your pencil urchin is from the Western Atlantic, right? It will eat your xenia (mine did) and likely has the power to do damage to the tank itself.

found him on my GSP earlier in the week. he's HISTORY. :rollface:

Once the insides of the crab are digested, the anemone should barf up the exoskeleton. This happened to a friend when a shrimp fell off a rock into his anemone.

thats exactly what happened! for a second, i thought the crab somehow managed to escape, as he was right side up on the sand. closer examination proved otherwise, haha.

Don't get the heatsink though, just get the 7.28x4" from heatsink USA as that's basically the one nano tuners is using, fits on the lip or in the hood.

I just ordered mine, so will be building shortly.

8 Cree xre's 4/4 royal blue / white will be pushing 10-12k easy. Good thing dimmable!

Way Cheaper!

MR11 kind of growing zoas like 1/2 open most days. MR16, little better still spotty though. Hoping this solution decimates!

I feel bad for those two clowns. I only have a pair of clowns in my 33 gallon cube and I feel like its crowded. Couldn't imagine a 6 gallon. Best of luck though mate

I'm not worried about nitrates, just their lack of space.

 

[hello_there]

Clowns need a decent amount of swimming room or else they get stressed. But hey if you want to keep them, somebody's gotta break the mold someday right? Just keep them on close observation, record any odd behavior
and keep up with the water changes.

hey all sorry i haven't posted anything here in awhile, i should have updated. i felt like they were crowded too, and wanted to add more corals to the tank so i upgraded it to a 30 gallon back in may!:spin1:
