I didn't have any problems or bugs with the light, just didn't care for the color, I also couln't find a setting that worked for my lps and bta's as well as looked bright enough to me.

That is quite a setup you got there. The sump is making my head spin! Looks like your coraline algae is taking of too! Keep the pics coming!

How does your maroon do with the other fish, in particular the other clowns?

The maroon found a new home in someone else's tank. She would pick on the other clowns all day and then at night they would team up and rip her apart. Her tail and dorsal always had chunks missing or were torn up. Everyone seems happier since she moved out.

The sump makes my head spin too. I need a day at home alone to pull everything out except the sump tank itself and start over, neatly placing everything back in.(NEVER GONNA HAPPEN).

Not yet. I had to do some re-aquascaping last night to make room for my new little friend. A 20" green Haddoni. Once he gets settled and I'm happy with the rock work I'll consider it.
