I miss the light spread (Using 2 radions or sol blues allowed me to get light to all sides of my spires, the MH light doesn't really reach the far sides of my spires that well.)

I just couldn't live without my colors being the best they could be. A bonus is that all of my corals seem happier now. Zoas took off, Ricordeas have better color, SPS are growing quicker and have better color. I need to take a new picture, my colors are even better now.
I've also been toying with adding 2 - 250W 20K Reeflux metal halide bulbs to run for 4 hours a day.... I don't really want the heat though... This is the first time I've "Haven't" had to run a chiller. It's just sitting there collecting dust. I don't know why I always have to tinker with things and just can't allow it be left alone.
