Hi Morgan,

I think you should put 1000 watters 8 inches over your tank

[Morgan]

Robe if you are paying my elect bill....then I go for 1000watters

Saw the blue stag in the background......look super blue......mine's not that impressive

Is it under 250 or 400?

Hi Robe,

Please do share what you are using for lights...

Your acros are cool !!!

yah yah dun be so secretive

[Achilles Tang]

All hail Abu Acropora

There's no secret here.... high wattage intense lighting with a shallow tank and his acros have no choice but to grow quickly and colour up with anti-uv pigments!

Great progress Robe! You're my inspiration!
