Hi everyone, Just wanted to get some opinions. I have a Red Sea Max s650, 180 gallon system. I don’t do expert level corals or anything, beginner to novice hardy stuff. I have LEDs overhanging the tank, they are called ‘Intelligent LED’. They work, light up, but I’m worried that over time the...

Hey, Still fairly new to the hobby so I want to be sure. I am hoping if I got them they wont destroy my reef which has some anenomies, some soft corals, a tube worm, some snails, some smaller fish and cleaner shrimp. Also do lionfish really sting? Anyone ever get a sting from one? Just...
