I was looking into switching but after talking to a few vendors that have great SPS colors I decided to stay with metal halides.

I will try to take one tomorrow, two 54 watt ATI Blue Plus T5's from 12:30p to 9:15p, two 250 watt Phoenix 14K metal halides from 1:30p to 7:30p. If I extend my lighting period the algae starts to take over.

Full Tank Shot

The tank looks good after a 30 gallon water change with Instant Ocean, I bump up the magnesium and calcium levels in the mixing tank. Sorry about the Mag Float being in the picture. I was having trouble with it scratching my glass so I glued a piece of scrubbing felt to the wet side and it works great.
