Great news. Hope AquaCave keeps them coming. Bruce

I received the following note from SOSLightbulbs.com "It looks like they have been discontinued due to the rising popularity of LED lighting systems. I hope this is helpful." In looking at Sanjay's Reef Lighting Guide (http://www.manhattanreefs.com/lighting), you might be able to find a peer that has similar PAR and color qualities. I know for sure the Radium 20k SE bulbs are very close. The problem is that the are SE and not DE bulbs. I loved the Phoenix 14K bulbs and ran them for years.. I have now switched to the Radiums. Good luck, Bruce

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your thoughts. I have considered a biopelet reactor in the past, but have opted not to use one for a couple of reasons. First, I do not have any algae problems to speak of. I think if I had po4 or nitrates, they would show up in the form of algae. Maybe not, but probably. The second reason is complexity. I am trying to keep this thing as worry and ,maintenance free as possible.Adding another reactor (especially one that I am not convinced I need) just does not seem to make sense at this time. I am however going to start taking notice of tanks that have good color on certain corals and see if they are running a biopelet reactors. If they are, I will rethink the idea. Bruce

I know where my bread is buttered. Bruce

I have found Dr. Foster and Smith to be one of the best deals going because they offer free shipping on orders above $49. So a single box of Reef Crystals qualifies. Even at their normal price of $54.99 that is a good deal considering it is dropped off at your door. Gas alone to the LFS is likely a couple of bucks and your time is worth something. Right now (5/13/2015) they are having a sale (on the 160g bucket) and even at the sale price you are getting free shipping. Reef Crystals 160 gallon mix (bucket), CD-16882, $54.99 , $49.99 Reef Crystals 200 gallon mix (box), CD-70442, $54.99 Bruce

Thanks Tom. I tried to plug WAMAS a little in the write up. I figure every little bit helps. Bruce

Super clean and simple looking. I love that approach. Bruce

Thanks a bunch. Bruce

Graham, It means a lot coming from you. Your corals have always inspired me. By the way, are you a member on RC? Bruce
