Your tank is bananas! What’s the secret with the millies? Warmer temp? Higher salinity?

beautiful!

Thank you very much. Flow is important with Milles along with water chemistry. They also occupy the top part part of the reef for highest PAR. Temperature is in between 78-79 degrees. Salinity right on 35(1.026)

Thank you. Last 18 months, I have been running radion pro gen 5. Before that I have run combo of radion 4 and halides (radium) and before that I have run ATI powermodules.
All of them were equally capable of good growth and coloration. I liked the overall look of the aquarium best with ATI but changing the bulbs in those huge power module fixtures are a back breaking exercise.

radion gen 5s are great but I don’t like the fan noise to be honest. Coral health and growth have been great.
