1 halide over a 70 cube sps reef?

what would you recommend? currently i am running the radion LED and just not happy.

growth is extremely slow even though all my parameters are spot on.

i just dont think LED's do the trick.

what halide set up do you recommend??

Getting the right reflector at the right height is what you need to do. I have a luminbright mini with a 250 halide at 18 inches off the tank. The glass is about 46 inches around the front and I still get good coverage.

None at all. You can see why if you look at my blog.
