yesYou have glass cover on the tank?
I'm just the new man on this. and I'm doing this brand new tank, however last week by listening one person from a store, I changed 50% of my water and I killed my entire aquarium, anemones, corals, more than 9 fishes, more than $1,200 not just the price, but my son 5yo cried for a couple days. it was very sad. Thanks for your help, what kind of auto top off do you recommend?Yes, your tank need to be open for gas exchange and also, if you put a cover on it, there are water all over the glass, how will the light penetrate that and provide enough light to your corals? It’s okay for water to evaporate. Just fill it up with fresh water. Use an auto top off. What are you trying to accomplish by not letting water evaporates?
Hey man thank you very much, yes I use the same light but I did hang on the ceiling and is about 10 inches from the water since is very strong, the person who did my entire installation is employee to Petco on Marine depto for saltwater for 25 years, and he was the one who put the covers and he didn't sell me at all, he recommends for evaporation control and he said it does affect the gas exchange and it's very hard to me when I listen to many different opinions, since I'm new and going all by this guy. The first time I listened from someone this week to change 50% of my water since my Nitrate was too high, it killed my entire aquarium 46 gallonsMy 125 has the aquaticlife 6 bulb fixture. The light is about 4 or 5 inches above the water mounted w the legs provided. You dont need a cover, and an ato is necessary if u r keeping coral unless you dong mind refilling 1 to 3 gallons of fresh every day which is what will evaporate daily

Hi dong, will i be ok to grow coral the way i have it? The color blen appears good, although i have not tried mounting it. Anyway i would not want to mount it from the ceiling because i like having the light inside the canopy to prevent blinding myself when on the couch. Just hope im not doing something wrong by having it mounted by the legs..The reason aquaticlife t5 have such short legs was that the short legs were adapted from fresh water t5 lighting. When t5 was used for fresh water, all bulbs are identical, so there is no need to mix different bulb color and the bulbs can be closer to water surface. For reef tank, you need to hang the light higher in order have better color mixing.

T5 blend better than most regardless of mounting height. Height dictating color blending is more of an led thing. T5 naturally is a well blended diffused light. Thus the lack of shimmer, unless you really have some current at the surface.
