Meat coral with metal halide

[ffeschultz]

I've had this coral for 4 years. It has changed color and feeding habits several times between different lighting systems. I've been running reef breeders led's for the last year and a half. This coral hasn't had feeding tentacles out that much in that time. I switched back to metal halide (400w xm 20000k) yesterday and what do I see? This coral opened up more this evening than I have seen in years. So happy. Coincidence????

Not surprising to me, but I also run 400w 20,000K MHs.

I think I'm sold once again. I hate to say it's magic, but it sure seems that way. The halides just look way better too. My tank looks kinda like the reef when snorkeling or diving.
