SRC Member MbmC Posted March 17, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've got 2 x 54W actinic for 10 hours, 2 x 54W white for 8 hours and 1 x 250W MH for 6 hours in my 4x2x2. SPS growing well and colouring up, but need to take care where the corals are placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
