Looks good Master, now you must teach me!

make sure you adjust the photoperiod---that increase in light could cause problems with corals and may help fuel an algae bloom.

Why did you have to show these pics now I want to get MH lights.

Looks 10 times better with the MH!!!!!!!

I said to put a shell up to the glass, to see pods. And you made fun of my rely great idea.

No coral in there yet. I am getting some (many) this weekend at the local frag swap so i wanted to get the new lights in there first.

I reduced the photo period from 10 hours to 8 hours, should i go an hour less? I was thinking that would be good
