Very cool, I love the rock stacking! Did you glue the rocks together? Or just stack it like that?
What size tank?
Thanks,
Whiskey

Thanks guys.
The tank is 280 gallons (72x30x30) with a 130 gallon sump.
Been running for 19 months.
Lighting = 3 x 250w XM10k supplemented with 2 x 160w VHO actinic
Water flow = ~75x turnover provided by 2 Sequence 5800's on CL's both pushing water through OM 4 ways, 1 Stream 6200, and an Iwaki 100 on the return.
Protein Skimmer = Bubble King 400 internal. |

Do you run a full length MH photoperiod? Has the tank been BB for the full 19 months?
Thanks,
Whiskey

On average, I have ran the MH's for about 8-9 hours. I recently increased that to 11 hours and had some bleaching problems. The bleaching could be due to many of the recent changes I've made in the tank. So I have cut the MH down to 4 hours until the affected corals start to darken up.
The tank was designed specifically for a BB setup and has been BB ever since day1.

Thanks for the answer, I just realised you were the same person in the bleaching thread, and using that info replied over there now.
