latest Coral magazine Issue: LED Heavy

[acroholic]

Picked up the latest issue when out of town this past weekend, and it has several different articles in it on LED Lighting. Nice profile of Sanjay Joshi's awsome 500 gallon personal reef tank, and some smaller reef tanks of his with LED lighting on them. Volume 8, Number 1.

He's more of a lighting guru, not an LED guru specifically.

Halide is still king for large tanks; you just can't beat them!

I just put another AI on the tank today. I'm hoping it will improve things for my non-existant growth.
