    Hey, I just bought a biocube 29 and breaking down my current tank, i sold my t5-ho today and threw on a Power compact fixture in the meantime, when i turned lights on everything was closed, and stayed closed throughout the day. What could be the problem? Readjusting to the new lights even though they are less powerful?

    Yep! corals don't seem to like light intensity change, IMOE! Just readjust them when you get your new lights slowly!
