I use 250w phoenix DE bulbs with blue wave hqi ballasts. The middle uses a lumen max 3 pendant, the ends use reef optix 3's. I use VHO's for supplementation... a UV 454 bulb and a super actinic bulb. Plenty of growth with the 250's!!

that smudge in the middle of the tank is because the blue tip tort grew onto the glass.

Great pics and inspiration. My SPS Mixed reef tank is still a juvenile but I have 2X250 Watt 14k Pheonix bulbs with IceCap Ballast. Hopefully I can snap some shots soon:(
 
This is mine under 2 250w XM 20K's. I just re-aquascaped my tank last month. Most of my growth came from Reeflux bulbs. My sps's started to recede at the bases due to lack of flow, so I opened up the aquascape. Corals are just starting to get their colors back.

Andy, I loke the aquascaping here with the two 'islands. Hopefully it still the same appeal to it with the new design;)
