    Poll: How Many plugs/outlets do you use?

    We all should take our tanks off the grid at the same time to see how large of a power surge we would cause here on the West Coast.

    Bryopsis cures?

    Overdrive metal halide lamps

    Thanks for the pic, just what I needed to see. I was hoping to get more blue out of my bulbs by over driving them, but I like the right side of your tank better. I have a couple more months on my bulb and then will be looking for new bulbs. Do you remember what bulbs you were running then...
