Great light...I don't like the switches; best if used with a timer.
I am a new comer to the reef aquarium hobby, and started out with the Coralife Aqualight. I was told by our local aquarium shop owner that the lighting was most important in the health and success of the reef aquarium. With the Coralife I have been able to have even the most difficult to keep corals and after six months, have not lost a single specimen. I think this is due, in part, to the Coralife lighting and the help of your articles, and the help of Marc, my wonderful local fish/coral expert. Thanks Foster and Smith!
This light puts out alot more light then I thought it would. Due to fedex's sloppy shipping habbits, my unit came with a broken bulb but Drs. Foster and Smith's customer service took care of it and is shipping me out a new bulb with no additional cost. Due to that I am only using the front 2 bulbs which is the 130 watts out of the 260 for the 48" which makes my 75 gallon marine tank look amazing. I can't wait to get my replacement bulb .. I highly recommend this fixture to everyone!
Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives.
Algae are prolific and opportunistic organisms that take advantage of aquarium systems that are out of balance. Water quality issues create ideal conditions for algae. This article explains how proper water quality helps control algae.
Coral propagation is a challenging and rewarding aspect of the reef aquarium hobby. It is also a great way to promote coral conservation. Learn more here.
An important component of an aquarium that often gets overlooked is lighting. This article gives a basic description of available aquarium lighting systems.
