my 37g tank

[little_fish]

Well this is what a green hammer coral should look like

kenya tree

mushrooms (im not sure what kind you have to give you the correct colors)

Im not sure what type of nem you have either, but it shouldnt be that color. The mushrooms and hammer could be other colors as well, but not that white color.

Here is a picture of my reef and you can see all my corals are well colored, and healthy.

You can see my green hammer in the lower right corner

That light is not powerful enough to be run over a 37g imo.
The company i believe falsly advertises saying its "Reef Capable"
Your white bulbs are 1w each, as for your blue, they are .6w i believe, this light wont sustain SPS for sure, and your LPS might scrape by with target feeding, but i also doubt that.
I have always thought of this unit as massivly overpriced and way under powered.
Im sure someone else will chip in that knows more about this unit. But hate to be the one to tell you.

R u sure that that tree is a kenya it looks like ours and we have a Colt

 

[Gogita88]

im not sure on the tree i look them up and it never look like what the pic show. It was always white or like a off white..i went ahead and put them in my 125g. For now. And the light well my lfs said i can get a refund or pick out a new light. Any thing else i can do. I thouth i had a good set up. But i guess not

 

[Waddi]

Well, all you really need is a decent light, but always remember, research is extremely important, its a must do before you commit to spending a fair amount, or for that fact, any amount.
As they say, you wouldnt buy a car without looking under the hood! :D

 

[Gogita88]

ya!. belive me i will what kind of light should i have any good brands u knw of.. Im still mad adout this whole thing..i had them in there for a good year now. I cant belive they didnt die.

Well if you want to order from your LFS see what they have, T5's are ok but need to be replaced alot, MH are also very good, i have a MH and T5 combo from Odyssea Lighting, but im wanting to make the change to LEDs, maybe you should look into it, expensive upfront, but cheap and very good in the long run:

These are the two sights i know of:
AquaStyle Online
Rapid LED Home Page

Also, Aquatraders:
