I am in the process to try a new bulb combo and that might give me a better eye color - nothing to do with coral color

If your looking for bright I found the Aquablue Special too bright for my tank. I have 2 60" ones sitting in the garage. I went with mostly Blue + and a couple of coral +

I would think with the amount of fish in there, he wouldn't need to add much of anything.

I have an 8 bulb on top of mine and have no real issues with temp, in the summer it will get up to 81 or so but no big deal, i usually keep the tank at 78.5. I also have mine raised about 16 inches off of the tank. I'm not sure what color you're going for but if you want bright, I had two aqua blue specials, 1 coral plus, 1 purple plus, and 4 blue plus and it was bright. I only changed it as i went to lps and that was too much light. take out the coral plus and throw in an actinic, you'll have plenty of light and some bright corals.

I did not like the look of Aqua Blue Special at all. It is very washed out white for me. As far as temp goes, I have the lights inside a canopy and I run 18 bulbs. That is a lot of heat.

So today I had to make a hard decision. For the past 3 months or so one of my favorite fish, powder blue had become a terror in my tank. He was getting nastier by the day and chasing everything it could lay eyes on. A really fat and healthy specimen but a bully.

Oh well took her out and she goes in the frag tank.

Now I need an achilles :D :dance:

How did you get that fish out of that tank!?? Are you a fish whisperer?

I do not speak whale, but if you really want to know...

All my fish eat from my hand. I can literally pat them. I just took a water jug and lowered into the tank. She swam right into it. I took the jug and put her in the frag tank. No stress, no fin damage nothing. Took about 60 seconds start to end. :)
