FishyFishy! will become famous soon enough

The best coral growth and color I have ever had was from a 250W metal halide over a 29 gallon bowfront. Supplimented with a 2X24W actinic T5 Fixture. It was amazing. It was also only hung 4" over the surface.

My light schedule was T5's on from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm and Halide on From 12:00pm to 8:00 pm. Worked great for me.
