Hello everyone, some updates !

I have noticed that my sps becoming paled ...I checked no3 and po4 , and guess what...both of them hit 0 !
I have started with heavy feelings of my fish and corals.
also, I have checked PAR readings and I was shocked...at the bottom of the tank i got 250 , middle of the tank 400 to 500 , top of the tank its 800....so I decreased slowly the intesty of the ATI power module hybrid , after consulting with some pro reefers that using this fixture.

The respond of the corals , is very good ,especially this Mili (Pic taken with full lights on, middle of the schedule)

Pic of the new schedule :

also, I need to change T5 bulbs in my fixture (8 bulbs) .
right now it's:
6 blue plus
1 coral plus
1 purple plus

What is your recommendation ?

I hope that info will help to ATI users out there

How do you like t5 compared to metal halide switch

How do you like t5 compared to metal halide switch

T5 is much more diffused light. the shimmer is almost invincible.
one thing for sure - my corals feeling great !

That’s all that matters. No bleaching or shocked corals
