    I'm looking into new lights.
    I'm currently running odyssea 3x250 @ 15,000K
    I don't particularly like the colour I'm getting from this. It's a nice crisp white but I'd prefer a crisp blue.
    I'm running 2x65W and 2x96W Actinics as well.
    I want to change the ballasts to Lumatek's dimmable ballasts and I was wodering which is the best bulb to use.
    I was looking at the Ushio and the Hamilton.
    Any suggestions?

    Glad that things are looking up!

    Is your tank directly in front of a window?

    Yep its infront of the window but the other side of that window is in the garage. No sunlight at all comes in through there.

    Swapped out my bulbs for a pair of 14K Coral Keppers Bulbs on either end and left the Odyssea 15K in the centre.
    The coral keepers bulbs are not as bright as the odyssea but they're on the same ballasts. Why is that?
    I got a new SPS today. Will post pics tomorrow after I clean the tank a bit and take some photos.

    Please don't mind the background. It has to be redone!

    My tank is well over crowded with rock.
    Would I be able to remove rocks piece by piece every week and do routine water changes just after they are removed without creating a spike in nutrients?

    As a matter of fact, I would really like to re arrange the rock.
    Creating a more natural environment rather than just a plie of rocks.

    Update Pics 13/06

    Hey all, Just thought that I'd post some updated pictures.
    Got just a couple new SPS. They're really hard to come by in Trinidad.
    I still haven't done over the background.:-/
