I have a 40g breeder with
4 three stripe damsels, 1 clown, 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 fire shrimp, 1 coral banded shrimp,1 emerald crab, 1 fighting tiger conch, and the usual clean-up crew(turbos and blue leg hermits).
I have the following corals

and a feather duster i think

I think I need more light, currently running 4 T8 sitting on top of tank (2-actinic, 1- 10k, 1-6500k) maybe 1.5" off water, on 8hrs a day
I have a 2-175 MH setup (PFO Lighting) that will run 175w MH M57, 175w MV H39, 150w MH M107 ( got no idea what all these numbers mean)
Would this be too much light for the 40g, If not, how high up off water should I hang them, what temp bulbs would be good for it, Once I finish setting up my 75 the 40g will be for paly/zoa/ only. I will have to get some serious lights for the 75 and am trying to use what I have on hand for the 40g.
sorry for the cell phone pics,, the white dots on the back glass are snail eggs, or they are pooping on the glass
