Nice! This is a great example of why good lights are so important with corals!

Wow! That looks great! A picture speaks a thousand words

Corals look a lot better with halides but they gave me a major breakout in green/yellowish algae all over my rocks and glass. Coraline algae on rocks turing white now. I think I need more actinic light.

That algae should clear up. Turbo snails will help that It will take a little time for the coraline to adjust to that high output lighting. Actinic will help with coraline color too.

That is why I am switching from PC's to Halides. Nice comparison pics.
