    I will make him take pics when I hook up his ATO. Maybe we can do a step by step on it to post and show people how you can make one pretty cheap. Get the camera charged Shehan. :)

    14,000k sps by blue life 250 watt. I used spectrum specialists before, but they are bad I believe after no more than 9 months. The sps are supposed to be some of the best, I will replace them and see if it helps with my nusaince algae.

    That was my plan, maybe even a video. Maybe submit it for a 3reef article!

    The new bulbs look awsome! I can tell the algae isn't growing already, now to get rid of what I already had. New inverts will be added soon, and I am also adding a reactor with Rowaphos tomorrow. No more algae farm for me....
