How many T5? What size tank? Do you know what your Par is?

I have 4x54W T5 retro with a couple LED strips to boost par a bit:

Yea Aussie gold. Had it shoot 4 years

Lighting schedule is Reefbrites for 14 hours, 2 bulbs 12 hours, and all 8 for 10. Something like that. To be honest I forget what it it is

It blows me away how many awesome SPS tanks are run by guys that think this way, and I mean that in a good way. It seems not micro-managing and just letting things happen really goes a long way. I agonized over bulb selection for days :lol:.

Best advice I could give is don't overthink it. Let the tank cruise without making changes.

I chose this bulb combo because I liked the way it looked. I didn't want something super white, I like when tanks are more 20k. Apparently my corals like it too, but honestly I don't know if I would see a big difference if I had changed one bulb to something different.

Since my tank is 8', I'm running 2-4' all blue XHOs.
