Yes, I agree Brad that it isn't long enough, but I never increased it because it looked like the corals were getting too much light. Sometimes they will close up when I turn the lights on and the tissue almost looks swollen on the hammer and the frogspawn and my mushrooms will shrivel right up. I have checked all my other parameters and everything is good so I keep coming back to the lights. I will start increasing the lights and see what happens.
