Hi Shane,
I'll let you know how it goes. You have a good memory, I do have
mostly leathers and LPS (and of course fish). I'll be making the shift this
Friday, so your tank will have a "head start" on mine. Let's keep in touch
on the list, so everyone can benefit from our changes in lighting.
(Although I wouldn't draw too many conclusions with just two tanks, if all
the other variables remain relatively constant, we have a decent experiment
going).
