when i first tried it, comparing it with no reflector and with reflector. its almost twice as bright. when i hooked everything up and gave it a test run. my eyes hurt from looking at the light. i had to look away after a second. i thought it will surly bleach the crap out of my corals, but when i put it on the tank. it was a bit brighter than before. color wise everything looked a lot better. coloration is amazing.

ran into a little problem, my milli frag isnt too good. one day i noticed the encrusting flesh at the base gone and the top of the frag turned white. i thought it was gonna die, but i still see polyp extensions. i do notice my tank is having film algae problem, i have to clean my glass twice a day right now. tested my phosphate and it was 0. am i not giving it enough flow? or could it be my water problem?
