DAILY QUESTION: What’s your dream coral?

I'm not sure if it have a dream coral as much as a type. Love my lobo, and kind of the brain and acans.

DAILY QUESTION: How important is dimming control for your reef tank lighting setup?

I think as others have said...I love that it mimics sun rise and set. That being said, true benefit...I don't know.

DAILY QUESTION: What’s your dream coral?

I'd like a to someday keep/grow anything millie of some sort...

DAILY QUESTION: How important is dimming control for your reef tank lighting setup?

I'd say moderate. I technically have a little right now by adjusting intensity, but would much prefer a ramp up and ramp down. I just feel like sitting in front of my tank, drinking a cup of coffee and going "oooh.... here's comes the sun..*sip*" Would be pretty satisfying.

DAILY QUESTION: How important is dimming control for your reef tank lighting setup?

Dimming and acclimation mode is great!! Very helpful when adding new corals or fish that are a bit stressed

DAILY QUESTION: If you could improve one thing about your current lighting setup, what would it be?

As of now nothing, I,m pretty satisfied with what I have.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: What’s the most vibrant coral you’ve ever seen, and what kind of lighting was it under?

A rainbow acan in a club members tank, not sure of what lighting they were using.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to achieving the perfect light spectrum for your tank?

I don't fret over perfect spectrum with the various corals I have requiring a wide range of needs.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: What do you think is the most underrated benefit of high-quality reef lighting?

They each have their own benefit.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: What’s the best coral growth success story you’ve had?

Have to say an easier coral to grow, a teal caulastrea that I have had for over 30 years. Having gone thru many generations after starting with just 2 polyps. Largest it grew was the size of a basketball, when we moved 20 years ago it broke apart in numerous pieces during transport to new tank. Currently its the size of a volleyball.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: What’s your dream coral?

I don't have a dream coral, I like to see a variety in the tank.

 

[Aqua62]

DAILY QUESTION: How important is dimming control for your reef tank lighting setup?

Very important, I like the ability of controlling the colors and setting them to the needs of the corals but also what is eye appealing to me.
