    If you are keeping soft corals running some carbon is a good idea. What kinds of corals are you trying to keep??Are you using natural seawater or a synthetic salt??Tap water??rodi??Please let us know a little more about the sump/filtration as well.Water change routine?It looks like there is a lot of ambient light in the room but your leds are way too high to be of much use.What type of MH bulbs are they?How old are they??Spectrum??:-/.
