Lookin good. I like the lighting. What ballast are you using? Also, are you still using the Radium bulb? 14K?

If you don't mind, throw up some pics of the sump area, and inside the canopy now that you have everything situated and running. I always like seeing how people deal with difficult space constraints.

John,

If you have a way to raise the pendant/lumenarc higher in the canopy, that might help alleviate some of the problem. You could also move the corals lower in the tank.

Good luck getting it all dialed in,
Chris

Too much light

If it's the brown-out your referring too, my bet is on the new tank & the move causing stress. It's not the lights. They'll come back, give it time....

no the first one was caused by to much light intensity..(i had t-5 and pc at first ) it bleaced the coral or it may have been becasue of my dkh being a bit low..but i have my calcium set up.
