super sweet lobo, hated my tank and died asap.

really bright pink favia has been put from top to bottom in my tank and doesnt wanna color up and stays bleached in some areas.

with that being said, some corals are doing really well and I am seeing some good growth, so i might mess with the settings and go from there. But I do miss the t5s. But didnt miss them this summer when my tank was really stable for temp even when my house was an oven.


anywho this thread has now costed me money, because i finally ordered up the replacement ballast for my 24 ati sunpower sitting in the basement, as I should unload that one of these days.

I didn't know this until recently but to much light will make for nice green colors to come out.
I may be safe to say your lights are to bright

What's peak %

If you want a t5 hybrid you don't necessarily have to go out and buy a whole new unit. You can simply add a T5 retrofit kit to your existing LEDs. There, instant hybrid :-) Probably cheaper this way too.
