I'd recommend a 400w SE blue(14k-20k) MH in an original Lumenmax by SLS, the large one, for wide spread. Also, some VHO actinics.

Softies need light too. If they are lacking, they'll be brown...

I wouldn't trust caulking to be reefsafe, but white silicone is. However, nothing sticks well to HDPE, and silicone is the worst.

This is the downside to BB, but it's minor. Cover it as well as...

If you want to grow softies, I would look around on RC for a used VHO retrofit system, and build a cheap little canopy to put it in.

I wouldn't count on much growth from those bulbs in the pic.

I have Lugols dipped many zoas frags, and put them directly into a 20g nano. Never had a problem.

In general, the bluer it is the less intense. A 250w 6500k has more "intensity" than a 400w 20k, intensity meaning lumens and most importantly, PAR.

Get a Deltec APF600, not the AP600. You won't even hear it with it in the sump. I run one in my bedroom for that very reason. The APF will sell in 5 minutes if you choose to. I don't know if that...

The green could be, bit If only seen it once. Look to see if the green is growing over other colors, instead on the other way around.

I think thats a great idea if you want to get more SPS. If youre using a blue MH, you likely won't bleach anything except maybe a few LPS and mushrooms. But you can always find/make a dim spot for...

You'll be better off with a 400w if you plan on lighting the whole tank. A 250w may not cut it on the edges. But if I were to choose, I would, and did choose the LA3 over the mini for being the...

Ballasts, timers, powerstrips and flammables are not a good combo. This'll happen with some well used ballasts, and timers and strip don't last very well either.

Looks like good rock. Lots of nooks and crannies for wedging coral plugs.
