I dont think the 72 watt is too big of a shock for them. I just hooked it up and I am keeping an eye out for any signs of stress. I put some stuff in there from my 75 which is running 250's so they should be ok.
The zoo's are looking great though. Makes me want to hurry up and get my 14k 250's. The 10k's do make for nice growth, but now that stuff has grown Im ready for color.

Thanks Zack. Sorry I have forgot about this thread.
So far so good. Everything is doing well, none of the corals got stressed from the new light. No acclimation was required!!
I have since started 2 new nano's bringing the total number of tanks to 4. 3 Nano's and a 75. I have the 12 gal Pod, a 3 gal pico and I am building a custom 10 gallon acrylic tank for our local reef clubs nano build off. I will post pictures and link to my blog when I get the chance.
Happy Reefing- Joey

ya. Its a shame that it takes soo long to find some things. They are probably the best nano lights out there imo.

Hey rabid, what is that white cube looking thing you have in the dead center of the tank, an inch to the right of the shrimp? Are you using that cube stuff that "automatically" adds whatever the tank needs (such as calcuium, magnesium, etc etc)? I forgot what it is called. Its called Formula 51 or something like that.. or is it something else?

Nah I dont use any automatic cubes. I think it is a piece of base rock that my wife threw in there. She is in the process of rearranging stuff to get it to look just right. So it may be a Piece that was on the bottom also..
Thanks for the replies
