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. -Diana |

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!

i would run them up how you have them for a few months then drop them halfway then all the way down a few months after that, with my par meter thier was no difference in bulb output after 2 months so im gonna probably wait 4-6 months before droping it down, trust me even all the way up you get alot of light,when i had it close to the bottom of the legs the temp did raise a couple degrees in the day so i dont mind having it up a bit anyway
