They do seem much "happier" now with better light.
Wow ha. That's the way to go I suppose. Diving right in I mean. And I'm sure they do. When I knew I was going reef with this tank I immediately bought a halide fixture, well, my wife bought me a current sunpod. It does the job although now I wish I had the more expensive system.
My next stop on this hobby train is the reef ready 90gal I just bought. I have absolutely nothing to set it up with. Just the tank and stand. I plan on buying this and that until I have everything but the live sand and live rock. So who knows how long that'll take.
