Light penetration

[joker577]

I have 2x250W MH 14000k over my 75 and i'm just curious as to how low i'm going to be able to place more of my SPS that i'm getting addicted to...here's a picture so you can see what i'm working with

Basically, 250 watt bulbs of anything 15K or whiter will reach the bottom of a 75

what bulbs/ballast/reflectors are you using? what sps are you trying to keep? different species require more or less light.....

I am using a sunpod but i'm not sure about the reflectors on them...I'm trying to keep a variety of species, right now I have a bali slimer, a green fuzzy, acropora, millepora, montipora and pocillopora but am looking to get more

i think you will be fine keeping them anywhere in that tank...

Putting them anywhere in the tank that light reaches will suffice for pretty much any SPS that isn't a deepwater species. You should consider acclimating them to the lighting however. When you add them, put them all on the sand. Then, every few days or so move them up a little, wait another few days, move again, and so on until you reach the spot that you would like them. If you start seeing bleaching of the coral, move them back down a bit until you see it stop bleaching, and either consider leaving it there, or at least wait until the bleaching is gone, and move it back up, but at a much slower rate.

I like your rockwork by the way.
