lighting

Hello! I'm currently setting up my first reef tank (15g waterbox peninsula) but am absolutely lost on lighting, I don't know if/what kind of wattage i should be using or if it even matters. I've seen people say that 3-5w per gallon is what you should aim for but I'm not sure if that's accurate...

Hi all, Looking to sell my ReeFi Uno 2 Pro. It was originally intended for a tank I was going to set up that never materialized, so I really only tested it out a few times to check out the spectrum. If you don't know much about this light, I'd recommend checking out the ReeFi website. It's...

Good morning everybody. As per title i am running an AI prime 16 hd on my evo. As soon as the lightnis turned above 35% intensity across the blues and violets my LPS hates it and harldy open. My purple torch loses colour and the polyps start turning white. Had the torches under the prime for 3...
