Hey Lee,

VHO's are T-12's. FYI. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]


Albrite isn't open on saturdays. Which is a PITA.

SPS n stuff.. well first off I 'd say you will need ot upgrade your lighting if you want them to thrive.
Under 175's you will keep them alive. but brown.

Your tank is a prime set-up for SPS. with all the automation and such you will have a stable tank for hard corals. Go for 250W 6500K Iwasakis. Two of em. you have the two VHO"s for actinic supplementation. Which will balance the color nicely.

Until you get the higher wattage MH's all that will happen(unless the corals are high in the water) is they will be brown. Even then with 175's they may not color up. Some people can get them to. But not to the intensity of say Jamie's or Marc's tank.


Is that what you wanted to know?

All I can see is the lighting holding you back.
