And we're all kind of afraid of showing what's in our closets cause our PMs would just get flooded with so many offers and questions... Nice sight!
**I'm holding myself to PM @Troylee and ask some of that nice halide custom gear for my collection** LOL!

Alex, are you able to keep any of the local Hawaiian SPS species in your aquarium?

Why a you asking me that?... Every time people ask me that I cry. LOL! Nope, my Acros are all at the WA. No hard corals are allowed in home tanks. The only thing I can keep at home are local zoanthids and most fishes, from stores.

If I could keep local hard corals at home you wouldn't see so many zoas in my tank. LOL! You would see an amazing system full of SPS. If I was able to be the head of the WA I would transform the place in the best SPS reference in this world, like it was before! Everyone needs a trim in their visions and passions, otherwise they get out of control. I wanted so bad to be a biologist since I was a kid, but the system didn't allow me to. Money was one of the issues. I live here mostly because of surfing and that is my priority in life, and my control. I belong here. I also have some freshwater systems. That's why I tell everyone to grow some Acros for me. The truth is that I love all corals and want everyone to give them the very best in captivity.
I'm just glad that recreational ocean activities are legal an free of charge. LOL!

This thread is not about me, it's about halides. Let's not get distracted and see if Troylee can make some of those ballasts and reflectors for a fair price, so some can try them out. Ha!
