    What I go by and what has currently worked so far for me.
    I'm sure there are manny other ways and by no means am I a expert.

    " Water quality, flow, lighting, patience" In that order.

    Water Quality:
    Stability = My Neptune Apex
    140lbs very porous Premium live rock
    Live sand
    RedSea Pro Salt and test kits(Ca,Alk & Mag), I test twice a week sometimes more and keep a log.
    Weekly 15-20% water change, most of the time I vacuum the sanded a little.
    (IMOP Water changes are the least expensive and most useful additives you can add to your tank.)
    BRS dosing pumps,B-Ionics
    Carbon in a reactor.
    GFO in a reactor.
    Clean up crew.
    I have 9 fish and feed every other day mostly pellets some times mysis shrimp and home made chum "sparingly ". "DON'T OVER FEED"

    Flow: I like flow and don't want anything to settle on the sand bed.
    I have 1 mp40, 2 mp10, & 1 Tunzi 6045 my mp's are set to Nutrient Transport mode.

    Lighting: I use Ai Sol Blu's and I like them. I have never used any other lighting other than LED's so I can't comment on other lighting and I'm not about to claim they are the best. I will tell you some corals seem to lighten up when they come from tanks that have Mh or T5's.
    I am contemplating a test and adding a T5 purple plus bulb and maybe a antics to supplement the spectrum?



    On a side note.

    Re: Mikes 120 gal reef ready build

    Thanks mike for the sol setting. I've had mine for about 6 weeks and run them on similar timers at yours but am up to 40/50/50 for my midday setting. I'm gonna try adding a little more royal blue in over the next few weeks.
