Thanks. Yes, its mixed, LPS, soft, & SPS up top. I've been running it since 2005 & it seems healthy enough. My only issue is rate of growth for some corals is less than I've seen elsewhere.

I don't think the lumenbright reflector is designed to work with a DE bulb, so I think I'd have to go lumenarc mini to use that bulb. Either one is probably quite an improvement over the reflectors I've got. I have no idea what the trade offs are w/ DE v. SE.

Is the Geiseman 14.5K bulb the "Coral 13K" or the "Megachrome 13K"?

It appears that the highest output SE 14k bulb w/ M80 ballast on Sanjay's site is an Aquaconnect and then the Hamilton's that I've got.

I'll have to noodle on this more. Thanks very much for the advice. If you have a thought on the Aquaconnect...
