Changing lighting for SPS
Hi
I've been keeping softies, LPS, and a few SPS (Monitis, plating & branching) for quite a while. My lighting period runs.... 1 x 80w T5 Blue - 11am to 11pm Plus 4 x 80w T5 Blue & white - 2:30 - 10pm Plus 3 x 250w Halide - 5pm - 9pm My tank is 6'6" x 24" x 30", with a total water volume (inc sump) of around 1100 litres. At peak, I run 3 x 250w halide and 5 x 80w T5 (1150w lighting). How should I reconfigure my lighting to move to a SPS oriented tank? Thanks |

your lighting system are fine. Just run the halide a little longer may be 3 to 9. By the way what kevin temp are your halide?10k,14k or 20k.

Lighting looks fine, upgrade flow and keep tank specs stable
