make sure you adjust the photoperiod---that increase in light could cause problems with corals and may help fuel an algae bloom.

No coral in there yet. I am getting some (many) this weekend at the local frag swap so i wanted to get the new lights in there first.

I reduced the photo period from 10 hours to 8 hours, should i go an hour less? I was thinking that would be good
