I recently added a grow out tank for my overpopulated reef. What types of lighting (w & k) do you use and what timing schedules? I am experiencing a pretty bad green algae outbreak but the display is fine......
250W-10K for 10 hours, opposite the display lighting......

I have a 70 watt MH with a 10,000K ushio DE bulb over a 10 gallon frag tank. The light comes on at 1:00pm and goes off at 9:00pm.

acros didn't make the transer and now are white as snow, sucks!! The others are acclimating well.
Any imput on the green algae outbreak? I used to have 20 lbs of mircle mud from ecosystems....I vaccumed it all out bare bottom then proceeded with the MH and coral transfers...I think I did everything in correct order.
