holy sh-t! the Hydno doesn't think much of the change.... you're probably happy about the pocillipora???? gotta love the LPS though 
so what do you think so far? good change or ? when will you know about power use?

The change is not what did that to the hydno, read back a little Rob.
I like the lites, and as soon as my alk. situation gets figured out, I think the corals will too, JMHO.
Todays reef lesson, lets find out what the inside of an Iwaki 100 looks like after it hasn't been cleaned since January of 2008:scared::scared::scared::scared:. While I had it off, I figured I should replumb the out end of it with a true union so it is gonna be a snap to maintenance the damn thing. Tomorrow's project, replumb the refugium and get the damn flex tube outta here.

Thanks Charlie, after reading up on everything and the price, I just might have to look into these. Three 180s and the controller is about the same price as what I payed for my halides and t5 set up. I'm going to be keeping an eye in this thread.
It is worth the trip .

They seem to be a little bluer to me, but that is what I wanted anyways. I am thinking of ramping up to 30% at the beginning of February, depending on how things look in there. The literature says a 2x2 area, which is the same as 1 metal halide. I think because of the low % I am at now, the light is a little lacking as far as reflected light, I notice that some of my LPS are suffering from that part of it. Refresh my memory, how big is your tank?
I have 2 of each, and I think after I get things cranked up a little, I am gonna have plenty of light. If you look back a page or two, you will see that I had to move the center ones about 7 inches in on easch side to provide the center of the tank with some lite
I went back to page 31 or 32, looked at all the links, watched her video. Only thing I didn't like was how purple the tort looked in the video. I think ill shoot OBD an email to get the ball rolling. And like you ill keep my halides as a just in case deal.
Oh yeah, do not get rid of the halides, they look just as good sitting in the closet .
.Wow Charlie! I thought I had the record on that non-maintained item! Was it moving any/much water??? Both of my Eheims move water way better after a good clean out!
Kevin, you have no idea................................lol. Let's put it this way............... it is movin a ton of water now
. I would almost wager it was down about 400-500, gph, but I don't know. I do feel better tho because that is the first time I had ever opened up one of those and those things are a piece of cake.With my problem I just could not quite put my finger on what was 'different' about the water and the water-flow in the system. Then I was cleaning up by the return outlets and discovered the water 'dribbling' out! So I cleaned the pumps...the water flow is like Niagara falls now! And almost as noisy to the delight of my family!
