I am going through some boredom on my tank. Im not sure what direction I want to take it. I like my rock structure so I dont want to change that. I want to kill my tusk.
I would love to ditch the t-5s and go to halides but money is not in the books for that.

What should I do?

Why do you want to kill your H Tusk? It's always been one of my favorite fish.

He keeps flipping over all my corals on top of one another and has killed a few fish that were not on the cheap side.

Well very shortly I should be switching my lighting over to halides. Im not really digging the t-5 lighting. Im going to be moving to 3 250watt HQI on Phoenix Bulbs in Reef Optix pendants.

I just completed the switch to halides. I went to 3 250w HQI in ReefOptix reflectors with phoenix 14k bulbs.

I switched because I was noticing after having some of the corals in my tank for a few months the colors would dull down from the time I got them. When I moved some of the corals in my main tank to my frag tank which is under halides everything looked alot better.

I feel this is due to alot of coral color pigments are uv induced. Halides give off more uv then t-5s so I believe this will recolor up some of the corals. Also when it came to bulb replacement on the Constellation fixture 14 bulbs was getting ridiculous
