Yes, we don't have very good luck with hard corals - we do have candy canes, gonidopora (?), zoos, - have tried the acropora's and they just seem to bleach out to white---our tank doesn't like fungia either. Strange!
THANKS!! We use the coralife aqualight pro series lighting. We used a retro fit - but it has metal halides, pc, moonlight lights. It's all on a timer so the lights come on in phases with only moonlight at night.
Forgot yes we do use the 150 hqi halides - there are two of them. Would love to upgrade but it's in our living room and don't want to take up tooo much room. The tank is perfect where it is at. The neighbors love to come look!! We have a huge long tentacle anemone our cinnamon clownfish lives in!
