Hello, I’m new to the forums and am looking fir suggestions for my 125 gallon mixed reef tank. It’s 6 feet long 18 inches wide and about 22-23 tall. I have had the the tank set up for about 4 years. There 3 hydra 26 lights 12 inches from top of tank. I am to the point where I have added some more sps( acros )to my montis, torches, hammers, frogspawn, acans,elegance, Blastos, (trachyphillia to be added soon) and lobophillia, Ophelia,mushrooms, favia, chalice and other encrusters. I want better color and growth. Looking for suggestions on current lighting set up. I can adjust the light program, add lights like reef bright or other alternative or get all new lights? I obviously want to not have to spend a gazillion dollars and start all over but if needed I could . Was hoping to achieve a supplemental lighting adjustment to gain desired look and effect.
