We had the same experience with our zoos and other corals once we switched to Tek T5 lights. Within a month everything looked better in our tank then it ever did with our 250w MH

It's funny, because Tek's are at the lower end of the high-end HOT5 products :P

Aquactinics and ATI Powermodules are out-of-this-world bright!

No, it's not funny.

Maybe I don't have enough corals to see a noticeable difference!

i switched from a 70W mh to the 24" tek and it fried my Xenia and is doing a number on my mushrooms and zoas

Crap. Guess I'll have to take it easy when my Tek arrives (and I'm going from PC!). Did you ease the corals into it? Put window screening over the tank, etc?

No but i just set hole new tank up yesterday and i got some eggcrate to put on the top and i raised the legs to the highest position for tomorrow. So hopefully that will help.

Gotcha. Try keeping the lights on for only 4-6 hours the first week or so, and slowly increase the photoperiod. That'll help the corals adjust, as well.
