do you find you get much growth without a daylight bulb with your sps and zoanthids. I run the following and think i would like something a little bluer but i am scared ill lose PAR and growth.

Aqua Sceince 15,000k
Aqua Sceince 22,000k
Aqua Sceince duo 17,500k
Aqua Sceince 15,000k

He used advice from the Grim Reefers lighting site:
http://sites.google.com/site/tfivetesting/home
(under "Lamps" and then "Combination Suggestions") There are some really good suggestions to try under there. I have used it myself for my tank.

As for feeding I believe all that is fed into the tank are the Zeovit additives on a semi-regular basis. And very good tank husbandry!

Hope that helps!
