It's me again. Just wanted to know what you thought about what I was saying about the lights being too bright for my zoanthids, coralline algae and almost everything else in my tank 2 pages back on this thread. I really would like to know what your suggestion would be before I give up on the T5s. I really like the way the lighting looks, just not what it's doing to my corals. PLEASE!
I am pretty sure I responded t you with a PM, maybe it didn't go through.

Cut back to just the blueplus lamps for a few days and see what happens. A lot of the sellers have their zoos under 20K halides pretty close to the top so I would be really shocked if 4 T5's were too much light. If they do start coloring up you could go with a 3rd blueplus in your mix if you don't mind the color or just slowly acclimate the corals by adding back the 2 aquablue lamps over a few weeks.
