I have almost the same tank dimensions 36x36x24, and i am keeping 3 gigs. They are all under a ATI PowerModule Hybrid.

What are your settings? I have the 4' powermodule over my coral holding system.

My reef system is just now finally maturing at a year old and I’m planning on getting a Ritteri here soon. I’m currently running 2 x 400 watt Radiums in the front of the tank and 2 x 250 Radiums in the back. I’ll be curious where the Ritteri ends up.

So far it's still perched up high, recovering from bleaching. Poor guy, I got him completely bleached and spent 6 months getting him back to full color under a halide. Then I switch lights on him and back to bleached. Just too much of a PAR swing I think.

I still think they have a certain glow about them under halide.

You currently have it under Halide right?
