That is my favorite sps.

how many watts, brand and are they DE?

I have 2 250w SE 1 14k CV with mag ballast and 1 20k xm on HQI ballast with 4 96w VHO super actinics.The HQI pushes so much more than the mag that both lights look the same.

I run 250W 10K AB's on my sps tank and I get some crazy colors out of them. It seems to somewhat sunburn the corals and you'll get blue where it is normally brown, but only on the side exposed. My garf Leroy's blue tip have turned completely blue on top before. I put in a 14K Phoenix and loved the color. It made my torts seem to pulse. Too much with VHO's, though (for the wife, anyway).

If that green with pink polyps comes up for trade due to 'accidental' fragging, let me know ;) . I want to get that ORA bottle brush from you, too, and possibly the cerealis looking one.
