    I seen in your first post you are using the 48" reefbrites as well. Are they worth adding to the system? I have heard both ways just wondering what your opinion was on them. Thanks

    Well for me, the reefbrites were stricly just to add POP to the tank and thats exactly what they did. So if you're looking to make your corals glow like they have a black light over them, blue reef brites are the way to go for sure.
    I'm definitely glad i added them.

    Thanks, i'll have to look, its a hard coral to get a pictures of. I'm pretty much in love with this coral tho, the polyps are the most crazy green i've ever seen on an acro. If i don't have a picture i'll snap one in the next few days and get it up.
