I knew it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent a good 350 $ on lights - went by what the lfs recommend; I told them
what I wanted - reef tank, and eventually into hard corals, & I wasn't
interested in fish

what the sold me they claimed "was more then plenty !!! "
UGH - the more I was reading, the more I felt I was mislead by the LFS (
who specializes in Salt water reefs)

so that would explain why some of my mushrooms lost their intensity, it
wasn't till then I started to doubt what they had told me. what a piser!
expensive lesson learned

Looks like you have 4 20w lights. That's 80 wats, 2.66
wats per gallon. That's quite low. You want 3 to 5 wats of
light per gallon. 3 being on the low side, and 5 being
where you want to be. I like going a little higher like
6.6 wats of light per gallon.

The more light you have the more vigor your corals will
have, and the better chance they have for healing up if
they get dammaged, and better chance of fighing off infection.
