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.

Good call i will try that as well. Thanks!

I'm going to try and get some pictures of my new set up tomorrow after noon or morning (going to the Vancouver aquarium

) and will start a thread.
