Default My final Lighting Configuration (pics included)

I finally finshed the last of my lighting set up yesterday.

Here is how it all works:

2x 3' NO Actinics on WH7 (2 wires each tube) 10am-10pm
1x 400w 20k Radium (soon to be run on SA430) 11am-9pm
1x 175w 10k Ushio on PFO ballast (high noon) 2pm-6pm

Here's a shot with the hood open:


Full view of tank:


I feel that this combination is visually appealing as well as great for coral growth and colour. I had originally run the set up with just the halides, but I added the actinics as they bring out some extra fluorescing pigments in the corals. They also help simulate the dusk to dawn effect.

Next step of the game is X10.. Anyone wanna combine an X10 order?
