Lighting update
 
Ok here is an update,
I went to hidden reef and bought a Coralife 24" Aqualight, it was missing on bulb it is rated 65W Daylight and 65W aCtnic but was missing the actnic so I purchase a second 65W daylight, and now run this plus one of my T% using just ACtnic what can I keep now?
I also have a red algae bloom seems everytime I top up my water I get a bloom.

are you using RO/DI water for you top up. if not that could be where your algae bloom could be coming from. pretty much soft corals, ricordias, trumpet, candycane, euphyllia if you placed them high, just research corals and see which ones you like that are low to med light.

initially i used di water and it does filter out a great deal, but i was floored at the water quality after i bought my RO/DI unit. hidden reef has good deals on the ro/di units. you may even find one online used, i know blaster had one for sale i'm not sure if he still does
