    Baugherb,

    Did you need to do anything to acclimate your corals to the new light? Do you have an automatic top-off? If you do, how does it work? Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to get some ideas from someone who seems to have things figured out.

    Tank looks great by the way.

    I started my light up very high and moved it closer every couple of days, it took about 2 weeks to get my light where I wanted it.. I have a gravity fed autotopoff using a galllon jug and a airline valve, and I just keep adjusting the drip rate until i get it right..

    always a good feeling when you get the better of problems IME

    how much phosorb did you use, what frequency of changing did you do
    and is it run in a reactor?

    other people may benefit from your experience here, hence the questions
