Hi Machado,
I'm coral frag newbie from Thailand. I saw you amazing tank, That inspired me a lot.

I have question about light. If you don't mind, please share to me.

1. How long you turn of light per day?
2. What is the best light for SPS coral frag now? T5, MH of LED. If focus on the best resut of growth.

Thanks,
Surat

NOT being critical here.....but have you seen or noted any problems with genetics?--Being from a relatively "small" gene pool--do you or have you noticed any variations in beneficial/adverse characteristics of the coral you grow?--For instance, when we "breed" dogs we get "strange" traits like the dachsund(long short dog)....Have you noticed anything like disease resistance or extra long polyp extension in any of the corals you grow out?---I would Love to study that side of your tanks!!---I LOVE the care and effort you have put into this hobby---WELL DONE!!

Interesting question. I do not think he is breeding corals, simply "cloning" them, so there should be much less accumulation of variable traits.

About colors under LED's after T5, in my opinion only you have to do is wait. The colors will come.
Thanks for your question.

Waiting to hear what you found out.

hope all is well since it has been a while since you posted.

I've heard Calfo uses this for propagation also, but i just can't seem to find any sellers on the internet.
which probably has something to do with the keywords i use ( testtube thingies) LOL..
