I'm not sure what brand of bulbs came with the light but they are 24W 2 whites are 10,000K and 2 actinic blues..I am sure they werent ATI's..Its a cheap T5HO 4 bulb fixture from fishneedit.com...its pretty basic nothing fancy but it works..I have seen decent growth on my zoanthids and mushrooms..
Try 6500K CFT/CFL spiral type ones if you are not happy with the ones you have but Zoas and Palys do not really need high end type of lighting and will do well under the daylight types e.g. 5500K or preferably 6500K .. a set of two of those CFL's can be bought at big box stores for about $12.00 if I remember correctly and they last for a long time ...

My order from SaltCritters.com came in today!! I ordered a John Deere Leptastrea piece and a mystery coral, which I think is a Chalice? I am very pleased with the size of coral I recieved for the price!! $25 for the John Deere and $5 for the mystery.. was fun waiting to see what they picked out for me too. Here are a few pics of each
The color is coming back quickly in the John Deere..Once it fully recovers from traveling I'll snap another pic or two
This one is very cool..I couldn't decide what else to get so I had the Guys/Gals at SaltCritters decide for me lol. I think they did awesome
I will definately be ordering from them again..I have been wanting a Ricordea so

Thanks..that sump was my second edition..lol..1st one didn't have a refugium and my chaeto was winding up all over the place. I have since passed that sump system on to a friend (who happens to work at a fish store). I am working on getting a 40 breeder set up in the next few months.. when I do my 20 tall will become my sump!

It definitely looks like a chalice.
Very nice especially for that price !
Glad you are pleased with what you got as sometimes online ordering can indeed be a bit of a challenge, in most cases not but ... it happens ...
Wow ... no wonder you are happy with it ... Looks gorgeous ! The Polyps are out nicely and some are starting to show that hammer look ...Dropped this 2 headed beauty into my tank yesterday afternoon..Lovin the Hammer!!!

Pink hammers are my favorite! Love it! I have one but its not really got that hammer look.
I will be in Orlando this week-end giving a talk on Saturday evening at the ORCA July meeting so for anyone in the area you may wish to visit their site and if you can attend that would be nice ... Spread the news pls, and T.W. sorry for posting it here but I wanted to get as many people as possible to be aware of it. Thanks
