1) The tank is a little old school in that I run full MH and a calcium reactor with an occasional bit of carbon or GFO. Lights just go on and off with no complicated lighting scenarios in between.

2) I don't fiddle. I'm not changing out lights or equipment all the time, dosing new additives, or chasing parameters. Get everything set up and let the tank run.

That being said . . . could crash tomorrow . . . so who knows . . .

By the way, your tank is looking awesome in spite of some of your setbacks.

Good advice here. Less is more sometimes and Halides are the only lighting option for me also. Can't beat the growth with those puppies!

P.S.: you got a PM from me.

I got as far as picking up my kid off the couch before my wife shot down the idea of putting him in the tank. Haha

Lighting is a little blue for my taste, but I like the dimensions.
