My 90G sps reef is lit with 2-250w 15KK MH plus 4-110w Actinics. As it is, I think I have more than enough light. I run the actinics for 12 h, the MHs for 6 hrs, with both on 4 hrs.

Also, wild-caught acros tend to be more difficult to grow and, when they do grow, grow slower.

LOL. I almost got an "F" in 4th grade spelling, so you can tell I'm spelling-challenged. I guess I'll need to use a spell-checker next time. Ciao.

I use an ocean motions mag scraper. By the way, I _did_ clean the tank just before taking the photos. It doesn't usually look quite so clean (maybe I shouldn't say that). lol.

Thanks. You know, it just kind of happened that way. If I could, I don't think I'd have put the Monti digitata's in there. They have overgrown the areas where I had hoped to put more acros, but what...

24/7; one cup in an eheim 2213 canister filter, changed monthly for my 90G with 140 total gallons. I've seen no adverse effects.
