i would like to get my girl a hybrid. how is yours coming along? she has been wanting one for some time now she has a MH over her 34 solona but i also wanna put a T5 combo witch would spice everything up. was this costly for you?

I'm happy so far with the light, it is not at full power as I am still acclimating the tank but I can't wait to see what happens. I was lucky to get this light built at an affordable price.

Its adds to 11..i'm guessing two cluster of that :)

Tank and lights look great! My office just moved away from times square so probably won't be able to meet as easily for frags anymore :(

Btw, that last batch I got from you are all doing great! That green slimer is starting to look sweet! Same for the spongodes and the yellow milli!

HEY YOU!!! Yes 2 clusters.
I'm glad the corals are doing well for you, come on! there is always time to go to maybe Manhattan Aquariums, and if there is time for that there is time for Times Sq. hehehe

And her parameters are in line? Calcium, alk, mag, phosphates, nitrates?
If she doesn't know then those would be the tests I would do to determine if the water is okay. Acros do much better in established systems or very clean systems. Long term success depends on keeping parameters as stable as possible.

While these are guidelines, I can confess that I am part of the Alk and Calcium swingers club. Last couple of weeks calcium is testing at 290, I've upped the dosers of course but no damage or problems to be seen. I have a ton of coralline and SPS which suck up 1dKH a day and calcium too so keeping on top of things helps all the livestock.
