So based on
THIS Thread over at RC, I am going to run a 4-6 week experiment on 3 different pieces of SPS in my tank. Documented with photos of course, providing the camera setting for each coral as to show the true changes of the coral. Quoted below is my original post on RC, explaining the lighting cycles I am changing. Todays starting photos below that.
Some dosing info that I forgot post on RC though would be:
- Pohls Coral Vitalizer: 2drops/daily
- Pohls Coral Snow: 4ml/daily
- Reef Plus Vitamins & Amino Acids every 3rd day (recommended dosage).

Well I am going to try this theory on my 75G tank. I will take some shots later today of a couple piece of "test" coral while they are still on my old schedule. I think I will use 3 different pieces to watch over the course of 4-6 weeks.
Previous Lighting Cycle:
MH - Ushio 14K : 2-11pm Mon-Sun
T5's - Gmann Actinic+/True Actinic : 12pm-1am Mon-Sun (T5's only added 2days before test)
I have gotten what I think is good growth up till now... Average at least IMO.
New Lighting Cycle (as of March 23):
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
Let you guys know how it goes.
