Albert, what's the fixture, # of bulbs and bulb mixture over that bad boy? And what was the bulb mixture before?

My KZ Fiji purple bulbs have helped color up some acros even more than they were. I think the red spectrum is beneficial for certain corals........

I just put in the KZ's and I do like the way the corals look under it. However, when the metal halides are turned off I prefer the way the tank looks under regular actinics. The KZ's without the MH give everything too much of a pinkish purple. It's only for a hour in the morning and evening though so I can live with it.

I mix my Fiji Purple with a URI super Actinic and 2 x 10k's for before and after the MH's are on and it looks good.

It seems to be helping the yellow in my bright green SPS to pop that much more.

I just swapped one of the Fiji's with a URI actinic white 10K, and it looks much better now.

I'm so into trying KZ's T5's. Right now I'm running a couple of MH 400w 14000 Aquaconnects and supplemented with a couple blue antics. While I'm happy with the color I'd like to eventually go to all T5's maybe to help save on power consumption and some heat reduction. Starting to see a lot of success going this way. I'm just not sure with 30" depth if this will cut it. I am going to a 230g with just 24" depth in the future.
