my final conclusion from my observation, is that different corals will adapt differently.
Some may like it & some may not. As I am facing limited space in my tank, I do not have the luxury to shift my corals around :?
If you can see...some has given me good growth after using XM bulb &...
Bear in mind I am not implying that the growth are attributed solely to the bulb :P But from my observation, lighting is one of the many factor contributing to it.
here are some showing me no/little growth & lost in colour :(

Dec 2004 is the time due to change my bulbs.
Decided to be a little adventurous. Got myself the XM bulb as it is reputed to have high par second only to iwasaki B)
This is my old bulb BLV 10k on the left & Blueline 10k on the right
My first impression of XM 10k is white! But later I...
Mihai,
Take a cue from me.
My past algae infestation display tank. :x
My PO4 & NO3 is always at undetechable level.
Now it looks like this :wink: since Aug'04
And how did I do it?
Simply stripped down my tank of it's corals & LR and delicately pluck the algaes off.

I am not overly concern over the suppressed PH during the lights off period, I am only curious to find out the sudden drop in PH when my first light turns on at 1200hrs. It's a sharp decline from 8.25 to 8.15(sometimes 8.10).
:mrgreen:

My 2x250W are as below
XM is the white light & Blueline is the blue light
My photoperiod is typically like this :-
1200hrs Blueline ON
1300hrs XM ON
2300hrs XM OFF
000Hrs Blueline OFF
My PH fluctuation is as below(using American Marine PH Monitor):-
2300hrs-0600hrs 8.35-8.26...
