Justin - thanks for the suggestion, I'll try different bulbs. How would this look:

B+
15k
Actinic
B+

I'm worried that it would look too blue for my taste. How is coral growth with the 15k?

The corals have been in my tank for close to 2 months. Shouldn't they be acclimated by now or do I ned to turn off a couple of bulbs? My current configuration is 2 B+, 1 AB, 1 6500k.

I got them from a LFS that uses 250k MH bulbs + PCs. They kept the lights on for 10 hours. I keep my T5s on for 8 hours. Didn't really think about acclimation. Guess that may have caused the...

My tangs took to it immediately. Don't know if there is any trick to make them take to it. Maybe don't feed the tang for a couple of days then try.

I never directly feed the feather dusters in my tank and I have tons of them. I'm sure they have no problem filtering out what ever floats around in the water column.

Thanks, I think I will go with the skimmer first. On another topic, how high should the water be in the sump for my Euro-reef skimmer to function properly? I have the ER ES5-2.
