OK ... I know this topic has been discussed so many differnt times, but I would like your opinions on my set up. I had just 2-250W20KXM's on a 100 gallon 60" tank and the color was nice and things did well, but after reading so many other posts I decided to try 250W10K and add 2 60"URI Super Actinic and build a new canopy that would accomondate the extra bulbs. Today is day one and the look is definitely different :shock: , I guess I am not used to it as well as the fish :o . The actinics sit @ 8" off the water and now the MH are @ 10"+ (used to be @8") off the water. Im not looking for dusk till dawn, but the actinics come on at 9am the MH at 11am and the MH off at 9pm and the actinics off at 10pm. The tank is a mixed reef with things @ where they need to be for lighting. I dont really know what Im asking :D and guess Im looking for likes or dislikes and any thoughts. I will add some pictures of the lights as well as the canopy in a little bit. Thanks.
