I am having trouble in this department. My corals do great on the frag rack on the side of the tank. Problem is I have a 36x36x32 in tank with 400 watt radium and then 160 watts of T5 supplimentation. I don't think being on the outer edge of of the halide prepares them for once they are... What do you other guys do?

Now I just set up a 30 gal breeder for a frag tank and it will have two Kessel 350 over it. One low for LPS one high for SPS. Can I use the dimmer in the kessil to slowly ramp them up over time to prepare them for the halide?

I use three sheets of fiberglass screen on the top of the tank. Remove one per week.
