DAILY QUESTION: What challenges have you faced with previous reef lighting systems?
I have own many light systems for my tanks. Metal Halides - heat & energy costs vs great growth... T5's - tube
degradation vs amazing uniformity in colonization and LED's - PAR all over the place, laser beams (diffusion lenses not a solution) vs vivid colors & energy costs. easy answer: what works best based on outcome.

I’d like to upgrade my light as i’m using an old AI 16HD trying to grow some SPS. Can’t afford an upgrade right now but I’m saving up!

Bonus i think my bubble tips would benefit the most from a light upgrade they would look amazing under a good spectrum!

DAILY QUESTION: What are factors that you consider important when choosing a reef light? Why did you choose the light that you are currently using on your reef tank?
Spectrum is the most important factor for me, I chose both my lights strictly based on the budget I had at the time.
