    I ended up selling the wet/dry , skimmer and lighting it came with so it worked out pretty well as far as cost. :)

    Oh you should be fine then. Even my space didn't feel humid... but sure enough mold. But it is such a small space it just needs a bit of air moving. I was actually really suprised that my little dehumidifier worked so well.... but I had no way to vent with what I had. So you should be fine with what you did.

    No real updates still cycling, I am liking the lumenbrite mini's with the radiums.
    I was thinking about actinics.
    Is anyone using reefbrite led's? Do you like them? Do you think it would be too much blue?

    Well It's going on two months now, Cycles over, changed out about 100 gals of water with some good salt to bring down nitrates and get params in line. I ended up selling one of the mp40's to a buddy of mine and picked up an mp60, great pump tons of flow. I'm running in lagoon mode right now with the other 40 on antisync.
    I also ordered about 30lbs of rock from reefcleaners, haven't really aquascaped yet just stuck them in the tank.
    Added a reefbright led for actinic, was wondering if i needed 2 but i think just one is fine ,that thing is bright!
    For livestock i added 3 firefish, 2 clowns, and 5 chromis. I am planning on adding a few wrasses and a tang in a month or so, that will probably be it. I'm not a big fan of a heavily stocked tank. More interested in corals.
    Thanks for looking

    Thanks, I still want to move some pieces around before I add any corals.
