New to reefing, I set the tank up in March and added 2 clownfish and these beautiful hammer corals pretty recently. I have a 32 gallon bio cube but it’s only 24/25 gallons after all the sand. Im worried I put the hammer corals too high up and they may start bleaching or worse die off over time. Does this look alright to you experienced reefers. The close up pic is in the moonlight setting. Also how often should I be using these products?

If they aren't retracting throughout the day it should be fine. I've had hammers/frogspawns/torches very close to the light and they loved it.

Be careful with the reef roids. It will raise nutrients like crazy if not used very sparingly.

Stock biocube lighting? And is this the new LED biocube or the older biocube with T5's?
 
Yes, it’s the stock biocube lighting with the new LED’s, moonlight goes on at 7am-12am and I have full spectrum on from 9am-530pm with the sunrise and sunset setting 30 mins prior to 100% lighting going on/off. How many times a week do you suggest I use reef roids if I’m doing bi-weekly 20% water changes? I figured I’d use the
