This is an amazing reef! The fish swimming is so soothing! Do you have a tank thread here?

My tank is now 11 months old, These corals have been under t5s in this tank and my previous one

Thank you. All corals were grown from frags but started in my previous tank about three years ago. I've been adding frags since.
I'm not sure why copperbands are not considered reef safe. I guess there is a risk, but I've never seen mine nip at anything.

What do you all reccomend for a 180 gallon? 6 0r 8 bulb 60"? I will be running a mixed reef with sps at the top. I feel like 6 is enough. Don't want to run into the issue of having too much light for lps and softies.
