    Well as you may or may not know, my t5 unit appears broken but not to worry I had a new one on order (1x 150w mh and 2x 24w blue actinics) So for the time being I put my old T8 unit on, the new ones should be here thursday.

    I know i'll be able to just flick the t5's on but im not sure about the mh. How should i go about acclimating it all?? All soft and leather corals

    Thanks in advance!
