Default WHAT CAN I HAVE with these lights

Also since you have two 150 watt small point source lights, you can

But if you put corals TOO close to the light, and they WILL bleach...



Yeah, I've heard this. I think there was a recent article in the
"Tropical Fish" rag. They recommended introducing new lightly in
increments rather then just a swap out.

I was planning to radically cut back on the hours of light and then ramp
back up to where I am when I get my new lights.

Don't know if that's necessary, but I figure it won't hurt anything.
