got the tunze osmolator and replace two of the stock 10000k bulbs with one gisseman blue and a pink/purple.
now the color is way better than before..
however, the Tunze is giving me some hard time as the optic sensor could only detect the water is low and it wont stop filling once the pump is on, nearly flood my apartment....
got two open brain today, pictures comin.

i added more sand in last night and re do the rockwork...
it seems that i need more corals...
I also changed two of the original white bulb to one blue one and a purple one, the coloration of the coral is significantly better.

Great looking rock arch, new lights and Tank. What made you pick the two new light colors? I don't like the stock lights in my RSM and your pictures look more what I want.

Thanks J

i did some research on the forum and tons of people recommend 3 blue + 1 white + 1 actinic + 1 purple/pink bulb..
when i was using the stock light, the color of the corals fade away but they grow faster maybe due to lower Kelvin value.
I was about to choose the ATI bulbs but they are hard to find in Canada so i just went with Gisseman..
if ur bulbs are relatively new, then just change 2 white one with one blue+ 1 pink.
if u r planning to change all the bulbs at once, u can go with what Glenn recommend here: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/68665-36-6x39w-lights-t5-recommendations.html
