the tank is 75 gallon with a Red Sea Prizm Pro HOB skimmer ( go ahead and laugh..its ok..)
A Current 260 watt 10k/Actinic PC fixture, 2 Koralia 2s, A Koralia Nano and some generic powerhead for circ. I also have an old Skilter from my 29gallon that has tons of sponges and featherdusters in it that I use to run carbon and dump any additives in.

2 banggai cardinals, 3 pajama cardinals, 1 lubbocks fairy wrasse, 1 green mandarin, 1 yellow clown goby, 1 steinmetzes goby and pistol shrimp

10-20 assorted snails, 10-15 blue leg hermits ( all thats left of the original 100) some stomatella snails and some small limpet looking snails that both breed in the tank..also tons of mini brittle stars

your sps and brains do fine under pc lighting? have you seen any growth?

 

[somosomo]

I'd say that I get slow but steady growth with the SPS..they are in the top third of the tank. I am not raising anything super picky..poccilopora( which is everywhere now), hydnophora, monti cap, red monti digitata.. The poccilopora went from an inch by inch clump to almost the size of my fist in a year and has popped up on the glass, the cleaner magnet, filter outlet .etc..
The LPS I have seem to do fine. I dont think they would win any growth races but my Acan frag that I got in April has doubled in size ( from 12-25 heads) since then. I think that has to do more with feeding then light. I also have a fungi skeleton that buds off babies consistently and they grow out into tradeable size pretty quickly.
