Question about lighting?

Do I need to run all 8 bulbs of my fixture for 12 hours. I have 2 sets of 4 bulbs that I can run. They are 36 " 39 Watt ATI, Giessmann and KZ bulbs with individual reflectors. The first bank has Blue Plus, Aqua Blue, Fiji Purple and Blue Plus. The second bank has Midday, Aquablue, Blue Plus and...

Galaxea came from Fat Fish. They had 2 huge colonies. The one I pictured was even bigger but I lost some of the lower part of the colony. I was painting on full strength Kent Tech D Iodine coral dip to save it. The stuff worked!

Looks great Andy and thanks for the new corals. The trumpet and the acros are doing fine. I got to see his setup yesterday and it is awesome. The chalice looks like a yellow fruit bowl and the other corals are getting huge. I loved the pizza anenome and the cool brain and Acropora.

Mine is a high tank and the lighting system came with the tank. I replaced all the bulbs. The fixture was originally bought on Ebay.

Some of my tank photos

I just have a 65 gallon with some algae problems but these are some of the inhabitants. I also have a 8 bulb T-5 fixture with individual reflectors and am running ATI bulbs along with KZ and Geissman. I upgraded my sump with reactors and a Vertex IN-100 skimmer. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f29...

Woolyt2 has some great Xenia. I could post the pics of the stuff that I got. I like watching the different ways it multiplies. Part of the clump can reach over and attach to another rock or a whole clump can move and leave behind a thin base and this can grow to another clump. Thanks again.
