Now, you went from what to what?

And, what a difference, and how are the corals doing?

The Corals are absolutely loving it.

Are there any corals you are now considering getting, due to the lighting upgrade?

Just for everyone's reference, that's 96W on a side PC vs. 154W T5. Roughly a 50% increase in wattage, but obviously a MUCH larger increase in brightness and intensity.

Sorry I never got back to this. LOL Well, I'm not just considering it anymore, I did get a few more corals, and they are all SPS.
3 Monti digitata and 5 Monti Caps.
