Good point on the T's awesome side note!! I have a few my self
I have used ESUs salt in the past but never long term... It always had a strange odor to me... Didn't smell like other salts... My qualms with it...
Hmm, interesting rebuttal. Crimson asked a valid question, why do you want to lower the flow and what do you expect to achieve? Matrix is supposed to...
14,000k is not purple its less blue than 20,000k. A TRUE actinic say 420 nm is violet/purple while 460nm is more blue. I would recommend a couple...
Is this a 72 bow or a 75 gal tank?
You could easily go both ways on this one... I am myself a T5 fan but that doesn't mean I am anti MH by any means. Problem with this "debate" is...

Most people go on hours burnt on the lamps... You could use a LUX or Quantum meter to determine when you are starting to rapidly lose output but...
I would buy a bunch of dry rock, just shop around on that.. Or ask the LFS if you can get a deal if you prepay and buy and entire 50# box of base...
They are all good ballasts... IC has a great rep for customer service and SLS also has good warranties on their items. The CV ballasts are nice with...
Is it a Fiji Puple lamp per chance?
