    Looking awesome, I do believe that you cannot have to much rock. My 15Gallon has 65 pounds in the sump alone.

    I am sorry, meant to say Nitrite, did check, zero?? and oops, maybe I misunderstood from initial post but I will reduce the light time as I have been running them 12 hours.

    I am getting a variety of information on UV eminating from MH and T5 lighting. I have recently started a tank again after about 5 years and have never used a sheet of glass between the light and the water, I am told that this is incorrect and it is damaging my reef. I never had anything die and...

    LED's, MH , T5....etc

    Thanks for the quick reply and info. I was thinking of a 250 HQI at 20k and wonder if I would need to supplement with actinics(45G Tall). Your tanks are awesome.

Going to switch to a tall 45 gallon and as much as it hurts I have to buy a new lighting...

    LED's, MH , T5....etc

    Sid, I think I have gone through this website and I seem to remember that you just switched your lighting. What did you change to? I just had a 250w MH blow a bulb, switched it out, blew another and now the ballast is broken, fortunately I have an old t5 supplementing in the meanwhile. I need a...
