Looking great but your lighting too blue...IMO.
That Monticolusa is not an easy specie, maybe your zeovit system can turn it around. Good luck.. :eek2:

I happen to love the color 
. It is about the color of a 20k lamp when the actinics are on. It doesnt look quite that blue in person either I dont think, but the picture is pretty close.
My camera actually does pretty well in Auto White Balance mode with this combo of lights. I have had other combos where the pictures looked pink no matter what I did.

Perhaps your right
. When I first dropped it in the tank, it started to get some TN and I actully lost 2 "cones" before the TN stopped. However, ever since (ive had it about 3 months) it has slowly started to turn purple from its brown that it was before. I think it will do just fine...

Gorgeous tank! I also love the color of the lighting. Looks closer to what you'd see underwater if you ask me...

Actually no, I didnt clean the tank...I did clean the glass though.
The MJ mod works great...It moves more water than the Seio 820 on the other side for sure!
As far as lightening of corals. Now I am not 100% what was causing that. I have had the MH on there for about 2+ months I think and my colors really have not changed a whole lot really. I think the colors was more a result of low bio-load and not feeding the tank enough. In the past week I have more than doubled my feeding to the tank in hopes that it will start to darken the tissue of the corals.
Your welcome to say that Zeovit sucks
... I would tend to disagree

She did have a male friend...2 male friends for that matter. Both jumped out of the tank. She must be a real bittch lol!
I plan on getting another tang I think... Probably a powder brown or something. Something that will add a fair amount of bio-load to the tank. I was also considering a large school of green chromis... like 8 - 10 of them.
Right now there is the following fish:
Engineer Goby
Yellow Tang
False Percula Clown
Coral Beauty
Royal Gramma
Six Line Wrasse
Other than the big yellow tang... all the others have a pretty small bio-load.
