One of the problems I have found in my cube tank is that low light corals are seeming to be getting too much light, even on the bottom of my 24" deep tank. I keep having to put things under the big cave. I have a DIY hood with a 250W dual ended MH in a reflector and a piece of glass sitting on top of the tank lip to protect the tank from getting too much UV(after discovering that a dual ended MH puts out too much UV to not have anything between the bulb and the tank). I lost the open brain, but I don't think the lights were the only problem. I also have a Hollywood Stunner Chalice that is growing and doing well, but when I try to inch it out of the cave(trying to light acclimate), it starts losing color and back into the cave it goes... I fear I will never be able to put even high light lovers in the top parts of my tank.
Any thoughts? The hood sits on top of the tank. Should I try to somehow raise it up a few more inches? Should I just move on to LED so that I can adjust intensity? I am frustrated with my cube so much :(
