Joe, happy new years. I have read this whole thread awhile ago so I don't recall, but do you have a remote deep sand bed? If not would you ever consider implementing it? Why or why not? Also, have you reworked your lights? I am going through the same problem of light racks. I made a single rack w/ the MH and VHOs only to find that I can't get into the tank and around vhos without burning my arm. So I am thinking of taking them off and installing a cabinet drawer roller to move them above the tank.

I don't have a remote sand bed. I don;t think I would use one. With my old tank I found that I had much better coloration with the corals that were in the main tank with a sand bed. The corals that were in the frag tank, even though it was plumbed into the main system, the corals did not look at colorful, the only thing different was no sand bed.

I have not reworked the lights. right now it is just the MH on the tank from 12 PM to 9 PM.
