Well I added a 2 bulb T5 fixture to supplement the MH. I just haven't liked the color with just the MH's. Too white even abit yellowish. I find the coral colors somewhat dull.
T5's have added some much needed blue...perhaps abit too much and I will play with the bulb choices later. But...I am much happier with the colors. The coral colors appear much brighter and the greens, even oranges are much brighter. Ofcourse I have a hard time trying to capture the true colors with my camera settings but this does basically show the difference.
(Thanks Kev for getting me a fixture so quickly!)

Just realized my GSP rock fell down in the back when I looked at the pics...damn...guess I gotta go get wet to fix it...

Here's a couple before and after pics:

Looks good Carmen. It`s tough with the curved glass finding a light that you`re happy with as nothing fits quite right. All my SPS are a bit in the shade in the front where you see them the most, thus not as nice of colours. Speaking of which, when you getting those SPS....

Thanks Scott. I will try a couple sps...soon...
Having abit of a cyano issue and still wanting to add another K4 for more flow so perhaps after that I'll throw in an easy sps or something and see how it goes!
I modded 2 of my Koralia 3's to increase the output some. I think it helped but am still needing more.
I definately have alot of space on top to fill, don't I?
