Mostly sps, some lps, and 4 good size clams. I had them for 4 month. I also did a par reading on my tank if you are interested, just check out my build thread.

Hey that's sweet the PAR reading. I have been extremely happy with my AI just wondering if I should run them different. I'm not full sps and notice my tube anenome close up when the white goes above 50. The blues it's ok with.

2 AI sol blues on a 75g

Lighting schedule.

3pm W8 B15 RB15 90 min ramp up sunrise
5pm W15 B35 RB35 90 min ramp up morning
7pm W35 B80 RB70 90 min ramp up midday
11pm W20 B45 RB40 90 min ramp down evening
1am W8 RB25 90 min ramp down sunset
3am to 3pm W2 B4 RB4 90 min ramp down moonlights

Run all 3 led except sunset where I only run W and RB to geve a more purplish sunset.

Also 1 thunderstorm per day for now with 20% chance and lunar on for moonlights.

Very happy with colour and combo now and the LEDs are 10" off water. Most of the sps are 4-6" below water....

Tube anemone isn't really an anemone at all, instead it is a tube worm. I don't think you have to worry too much about it. I had 3 of them go through 400W mh to 250W mh to full leds without any issues. I have found those to be indestructible.

In the short time that I had these LED's on the tank, my sps has responded amazingly towards the monster par output which AI's produces. I would like to add a few more to get better distribution accross the whole tank, but we will have to wait and see if my pockets are deep enough. IMHO I would be looking into getting a couple more for your tank if sps is what you want to keep.
