Hey Josh,

Rick's idea of starting with 6 hrs and then increasing to see what your coral like's is dead on. I have not increased my lighting time once I figured out what I liked but will have to play with it on the new tank if I ever get it going.

Rick, sounds good, would like to see what you have going on these days.

Isn't the vertex 100 rated for a 100g aquarium?
has your tank only been running for 2 weeks or has it been 2 weeks since your cycle finished? IMO these are the reasons for your brown algea
