Although remember, some corals really are just brown...:lol: However, I hope that is not the case for you. :mrgreen:

This is a great idea. I would be interested in seeing the diff. I wish I did this with my tank.

1. Tank Depth - 20"
2. Light type/wattage/height from water - 2x250 Ushio 14K DE MH w/ 2x54W Supplementals, 6" above water
3. Reflectors - Lumenmax 3 for MH and TEK2 Retrofit for T5s
4. What coral do you grow? 80% SPS 20% Zoas/Torch/Clams
5. Do you run carbon or anything else to 'clear' the water? Carbon & Rowaphos

I vote 7 hours, but my schedule isn't the same every day of the week..

MH - Ushio 14K : 3pm-10pm Mon-Fri
MH - Ushio 14K : 5pm-11pm Sat-Sun

T5's - Gmann Actinic+/True Actinic : 2pm-12am Mon-Fri
T5's - Gmann Actinic+/True Actinic : 4pm-12am Sat-Sun
