    So a few of you may have seen I setup a new frag tank with LED lighting. So far everything looks good and thriving under it. What I am wanting to do is see what all I can grow under them but I am lacking in some departments. Right now I have a few acans, zoas/palys, and a green slimer. If anyone is willing to donate some small pieces of various things or get me some cheap small frags that would be awesome. I am pretty much just wanting to do an experiment with the lighting for myself and anyone else who is interested. Thanks!

    Wow, is that 100 per 5 led bulb? Crap, how many did you get? Are things living?

    I have 2 of them. The Evil guy has a lot of threads on nanoreef.com and he has tested a lot of this stuff. He has 4 of these above his 40 breeder. At 30 inches from the sandbed he is getting 120 par. I have mine about 22 inches from bottom on my frag tank but might move them down before I finalize the structure. And yes everything is living. Check out my pictures on the General Forum.

    Pretty much just a bunch of small frags and not spending a lot in case the LED's do not support them very well.

    Let me know if you're going to be in CF anytime soon, I can donate a few. I want to build a frag tank for under my new 125 and was going to buy an LED fixture for it too!

    Here's the place I was looking at ordering from, I hear good things from them on RC.
