I'm using 520w of PC lighting. Having good results. tank is only 8 months old. The soft corals are doing great, but the Montipora could be better.

I run 90watts of NO lighting on my 27gl, 14" high tank.
Two Phillips T3 actinics and a Coralife 10,000k all 3 footers.
Over the last year I have been adding SPS and trading or selling my LPS.

So far 95% of my SPS corals are doing great!
My montipora's both cap's and digi's grow pretty fast, all my acropora frags are healthy and growing at a slow pace, the stag and milli frags are also doing well. All my SPS are place in super high flow so that could be why most of my acro's are encrusting more instead of branching.

Here's a growth shot of my first SPS coral, a purpletip bottlebrush acro.
