[hawkfish01]

I was astonished when i put just the blues on..talk about color pop! And with both going...wow! Wished id done this sooner..8)

[Muddy357]

Just got mine on Sunday as well. LOOKS GREAT. Mine are Higher and not at those Levels yet. lol, But CRAZY color POP.. Wooo

[hawkfish01]

Ive got to keep eye on them even at these levels...mine under t5 since...3wks ago?? Short in the lite fixture to par lamps...8)

I ran a little lower than you did with all my SPS and LPS when I made the switch, and I'm just now running on 50% for each channel about 2 months later. Granted, I left mine on 100% the other day, and everything did fine. Keep an eye on it, just in case, you can always start lower, and move up, but the other way around is harder to gauge.

 

Looks awesome, btw, colors really show.

[surf&turf]

Looks good!!

[hawkfish01]

Well..looks like i need to back off on the lites a little...seeing some bleaching on my yellow cup,hollywood and a tiny smidge on my war favia..8( lps seems fine but im backing off to 40%; had at 60 blue and 40 white..too much too soon?? Hope doesnt go farther..will see if i can get a pic of the hollywood in am,but pretty sure its light related.. Unless my urchin is damaging them??? Tux urchin ive had a while.. Or..... I was late doing a topoff w/ro water salinity got too high?? 1st time this has happened...put some brightwell restor in..hope it will help some.. Any ideas?? Like i said never had bleaching prob before...

[smallreef]

I started off at blue 40% and white 25%

My lights are 6 inches off the water...and my tank is 18 inches deep, but most of my LPS is at least 6 inches down from the top...

 

My white is still only at 60% now....but blue is almost 100%

[hawkfish01]

Mines about 10" off surface...

[hawkfish01]

Heres a couple pics:

1) is my hollywood stunner..the white spots r what i think are bleaching/tissue loss

2) yellow cup has same in area between "leaves" was not like this until changed lites over from t5's to d120 unit..

[hawkfish01]

I know pics r taken when tank went dark for pm..will try to get better in am..8(

[zygote2k]

hollywood stunner is a weed- it'll bounce back from most anything.

[hawkfish01]

Heres better pics...

War favia has only a teeny spot..its the last picon the back edge,middle ,only a teeny grey spot...everyone else full open..appearing normal..

[hawkfish01]

Oh..that chalice beside the stunner is fine..no signs of bleaching/damage
