Talking I just have to celebrate....
I finally got rid of the PC fixtures over my reef! My corals are now the proud owners of a 8 bulb HO T5 TEK light!

How nerdy I am to be so excited . At least it doubles as a tanning bed.

The difference is AMAZING. I love it, and I think my corals are already wayyy nicer. I have the actinics (4 bulbs) on for 10 hours and the whites (4 bulbs) on for 3 hours.... and the fixture is sitting pretty high off the tank. In a week or so I will probebly lower it down.

I will snap some pics tonight... yaya

Oookie here are a few pictures. Keep in mind my corals have been browning out under PC's for years, so they will take a while to color up!
