Can you post a pic? Leathers are generally very hearty and can take alot of abuse. How long has it been in your tank?

Looks great!!!!! Exactly what light scheam are you using?? t-5?

I have the same fish in my 75g. Very nice!

I got mine at Aquacave. Its the Reef Octopus BH 300F, $199 right now w/ free ship. HTH

I use the octopus BH300F on my 75g and paid like $175 a few months ago for it. For a hang on, its a real beast! I believe it is rated for a 135g but it my work for you if your bioload is not real heavy. I highly recommend this skimmer if you are not looking for a sump model.

I use the octo BH300f on my 75 and it is awesome! I really like the whole line Octopus offers.

+1 Flower! I follow the same regimen in my tank and it seems to work for me as well.

Are there any loose wires in the hood you can see? Maybe one wire to the two bulbs in question has a short, also check the end cap connections. I'd start in those areas first.

Very nice mixed reef!!! All your fish and corals look very healthy!!

Very cool!! I have only seen one other like that in person. I didn't know they changed color, thought there as a type that was naturally colored that way.....maybe not. Either way, very nice fish indeed!

Sounds good to me!

What kind of corals do you keep?? I think six bulbs are great for sps and some lps. The bulb selection you listed is mostly of higher par bulbs. You may want to go with a four bulb configuration as to not melt softies or at least go to two actinic bulbs in your six bulb configuration, that will...
