    This is my first serious attempt at reefkeeping and was just looking for opinions. I am running 2x150w HQI 14k radiums and 2x39w T5HO actinics. I am really looking to dial in my lighting and am just curious if I should change anything.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks like it is working well to me, good growth, especially on the euphyllia and zoanthids. I really like Radium MH.

    The only thing you could do is swap your 14 for 10k which doesnt seem like somthing youd be willing to do with price of those bulbs.

    It is coming up on time to replace my HQI Bulbs. I was thinking about going 10k, but I like a bluer look.
