Hi all,
I have a Coralife Pro with 2x 150 Watt MH's and 2 90 watt Ac's.
I was only running the MH's about 5 hours a day. I recently turned them off because I was having some extra algae growth and the summer storms were causing power outages and the turn off and back on was concerning me with the MH's.
Anyways, my tank is actually looking healthier with the MH's off. More coraline starting to grow back again, hard corals that were white are getting color back to them again. I had been thinking I was having water quality issues.. but it appears it may have been the lights.
It's a 72 gallon bow front, so it's a deep tank. About 20" deep. The MH's are always about 6-7 inches off the water.
Did I really have too much light?
