Hope the anemone turns around with the new lights. It sure looked nice before. Anyone have suggestions for good livestock. The LFS is hit and miss when it comes to nice fish. I see the ones posted here and they all look so nice.
Well I've got the new Hamilton up and running. I currently have the fixture about 12 inches above the water. I have shortened my light cycle to only 5 hours with the hallides and 8 hours with the Actinics. Contrary to the screen suggestions, I haven't taken that approach but will continue to drop the light 2 inches a week until I am at about 8 inches. If my corals seem to be doing good I will then increase the hours. If this isn't a good aproach let me know. Also, I bought my fixture from my local store (Coral Paradise). I think the anenome is starting to perk up, at least it started to eat again. I've fed it twice this week for a total of three pieces of krill. I also added some sps frags this week. These are my first sps so I'm not sure what to expect. My calcium is at 420 so I should be good there. I will try to add some pictures later.
Chris
