Default To much light?

Hi all,

Just to add my bit in here.

I am running a 33 with a 250 Iwasaki and am putting a second 250 over it next week, ina ddition the two two 95W URI actinics.

Because of the shape of the 33 you have to put the bulb parallel to the tank and then lose a lot of the light spilling out the front of the tank. Because of this you only end up with a smaller sweet spot of light so to speak.. So to compensate I am putting a second 250 over it.

That is what I have and quite enjoy it. I don't plan on going to 10k or 20k as I am very happy with the 6.5k with actinics. It is bright but it does look good.

I figure if a photosynthetic gorgonian can grow like a weed the tank is doing well.. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Speaking of gorgonians,

Marc.. your gorg is opened right up and filling out.. The polyps are extended already.. We will see what happens over the next few days. Had to do some re-arranging but it is in and looks good.. makes a neat "goal post" look to the tank with the two gorgonians on either side of the tank..
