Recently swapped from a daylight spectrum to a more actinic spectrum (As I saw an interesting post on reefcentral). I'm very happy with the results, in addition with dosing Vit C I have seen increased growth and color.

Thanks Blue and yes Leah I added 2 new tangs, another mimic and the valmingi. Unfortunately my powder brown got really beaten up and died a few days ago .
