Your videos are always thorough and educational. Definitely an underappreciated channel. Leathers seem to be one of my favorites. I'm new to reef keeping and tanks only been running for a month but I'm patiently waiting to one day add some corals and have a reef as beautiful as you.
Hi Primping, I got it at WWC. If you go to the Grand Opening UA-cam Video by ReefDudes(Winter Park Store) you'll see the tank it came from and me afterwards in which I give two thumbs up. Eddie
Hi sbazain, There is no real hard evidence to suggest that red and green LED lights will cause cyanobacteria and algae to flourish. Reef keepers have noted that under red and green LED lights, they notice patches of algae, or outbreaks of cyanobacteria across their sand-bed. What I'm referring is that if you happen to have an outbreak of algae including dinos or cyanobacteria it will help if your red/greens are lower to practically 0 so as to not induce further power to algae growth. Algae can show-up do to unstable water parameters especially high nutrients import versus not the same amount of exports. So as to your question red/green colors do not produce algae, but if algae is present as mentioned-above it would help if you lower your red/green colors so as to not give the algae energy to algae.

Hi mrsuarez430, Yep, they can take over a reef. I presently don't have it anymore and are planning to move into a bigger tank. I'll let all of you know in advance when this happens. 👍 Eddie

Much appreciated! Eddie
What about having high nitrates around 45
I have a 13 1/2 gallon reef tank could I keep one of those or would it get too big for my tank
Yes you could simply keep on eye on it. Eddie
Where did you buy the green finger leather coral

the red and green don't give you algae
