Ok I done a bad thing.... I liked the way the fiji purple bulbs looked so much, that I just got back from the store with a new 4x24w aqua-medic T5 light. So now here is what the lighting configuration looks like. 150w mh with aqua-medic 10000k bulb with 2x24w HOT5s (one aqua-medic reef blue and one KZ fiji purple) on the left side. And on the right side is 8x24w HOT5s ( 2 AM blues, 2 KZ fiji purples and 4 AM 10000k). Hope the g/f doesnt notice
 . Probably shouldnt have bought the AM light as I will be ordering a 72" MH/HOT5 combo from the shop soon. I am flip flopping on which one to get. I have it narrowed down to either a 3x 150w mh, a 3x 250w mh or go all out and get the 4x250w mh(all three have 4x39w HOT5s). I figure I can use the AM T5s on the QT/hospital tank and the hagen T5s on the fuge, so not a complete waste of money.

And that's a bad thing?....
 You can always justify having better lighting for the fuge and QT, copepods and new or sick livestock need love too Doug, the reef is looking fantastic! You're right with the Fiji purples they really make it pop..wish I had more than one in my set-up now, will definitely look at more when replacement time comes. It's amazing how quickly your tank is maturing in such a short time, a lot of growth visible from your last set of pics. I'm guessing there may be some xenia frags available soon? What do you run for flow? Apart from the QO 6000, the Koralia 4? and the other powerhead, do you have anything else and what do you figure is your total? Curious as I'm still not really sure how much I need to add on my own set-up and I would like to follow your success. Francis
