Carlos, I gradually building up the light scheme. So far I haven't seen any bleaching or lighting in color.
LPS can handle a lot of light, if you acclimate them slowly. I kept Favia and Favites 10" under the surface with a 400 watter above it. Important is to go slow and keep the corals and their zooxanthellae well fed.
One of the main goals for this tank is to grow SPS on every inch of the tank, because when the branches grow, they still have to receive enough light to keep growing and branching. To spread the light as much as possible while maintaining intensity has always been one of my goals and I'm feeling the three SunPower fixtures can achieve that more then the 400 Watters in Lumenarcs.

Love the big GSP island and back wall - probably one of my favorite usages of coral. Great looking tank.Hi Leo,
It was nice meeting you last night, as you see i have found your topic on RC:thumbsup:. It's even better that i have hoped for. This is one to keep following. Can you tell me what T5 lamps you are using? I realy like the blue-ish collor.
Ik hope the formosa arrived at your house in one piece? I can't imagin a better home for it and i'm looking forward of seeing picures of it in your tank.
Its too bad that you saw my tank in such a state as it was last night, i will try too find a picture as it was a few weeks ago
Hope seeing you again!
Jochem
