I use a Tek T5 4-bulb on my 58. I only have 6 frag in there now.. so its a baby reef, a mere 3 months old. I have picked up some frags from Rich (Jackson6745), a green birdsnest, orange cap, a purple Stylo, and a couple others. The purple Stylo was only put in about two weeks ago. Initally after putting the coral in, they all turned brown. After about a month the color started to come back, but not like I had seen in Rich's tank.
Well, I started moving them all around for a week at a time... eventually I found areas of the tank that each of them seemed to enjoy more. The colors started getting deeper and the polyps extended further.
At about the 2 and a half month mark, I decided to raise the fixture even further. Well... Everything seems to be much happier with the T5s at 6" above water level.
