Lack of controllability. Couldn't find a bulb combo I liked.

Very happy with the primes though. I got just the right color I was hoping for. Looks like a Hamilton 14k metal halide with actinic supplements from back in the day.

Thank for the info. I was thinking of changing over to Primes on my 30g JBJ. Do you feel that 1 may be enough for LPS?

Yes and no. You will have some hard shadowing from 1 but that depends on your scape really. Start with 1 and add another layer if you feel the need. That's what is so great about these.

No, I haven't. I have had them in the past on other tanks, but found that regular water changes are far better at nutrient export without the hassle of maintaining a refugium.
