i have 2 175 watt mh bulbs and 2 400 watt blue mh. when i turn on the blue 400's, everything sucks back in is my light to intense?
is it the uv rays? i put window screen over them and that seemed to help alot? has anyone evr had this problem? my bulbs are fairly new(about 3 months). my tank is 180 gallons.

Blue 400w MH bulbs?Why so much lighting?I would do just 2 400watts and use 14k bulbs.And make sure they are a good 10~12 inches above the tank.
