Well it's been a while but I figure time to update the tank.
For a while I've been planning to get a better reflector and looked at several options but decided to go with a LumenArc Mini. I only have one MH bulb on a spiderlight reflector and what I was noticing with my SPS was that because most of them are located off-center in the tank, many areas that were not getting enough light were beginning to bleach. I really wanted to get the Lumenarc III but I would've had to do some major adjustments to my canopy so that it would fit and in retrospect that's what I should've done because the mini will not cover a 30x30" area, oh well
Eventually I plan on adding some T5 retro's to cover the areas the mini doesn't cover.
I also regret going from XM 10k to the aqua connect 14k, although the 14k does have good PAR #'s the gowth on the Mille's and the staghorn has almost completely stopped only the Monti's are doing well. If it wasn't for the $110 I spent on them I would go right back to the XM's or the Reeflux 10k bulb. Hopefully once well aclimated to the aqua connect the acro's will begin to grow again. The LPS and softies and polyps love the 14k bulb. I also lost all my Croceas and Maxima clams to PM I got so frustrated that I'm not buying any more clams for a long time until this problem gets resolved.
Here's some photos of the reflector:
