Hi,
Was wondering if you help with a small problem. I've bought some really nice blue and other nicely colored wild SPS colonies from a reputable online vendor who has kept them sucessfully under 400W radiums. My tank has the exact same bulb, I have strong current, good Ca, trace hair algae in the tank. Temp is around 82. Feed fish generously, have an oversized euroreef, occasionally run ozone, don't use DT's.
Where do I begin in trying to maintain the bright colors? Can't get the corals higher up or the lights lower down reasonably (about 16" from corals to bulb). Any suggestions on where to start in tweaking/maintaining the nice colors?
Thanks:)
