I currently have a 240 Gallon tank, it is 8 feet log, 2 feet high, 2 feet wide. I am currently running 4 Current USA Orbit Marine LEDs. I have had trouble trying to add corals. I do have anemones. The interesting thing about the anemones, I started with one.. A small one.. I now have like a dozen.. They are multiplying like mad. In the second picture you can see some zoas I am trying to grow. They don't seem to be doing much. I have actually lost most of them. Do you all think my lights are good enough? What advice would you give me? Do you all think I should move the zoas to a rock right under the lights?

One more note.. I keep the tank at 80 degrees.. Perhaps I should lower that to 75 - 77? What are you thoughts. I run 3, 300 watt Ehiem heaters attached to inkbird controllers.
