    Thanks clonefarmer. I'll buy test kits for those elements tmrw along with the qt for sure. I do 5 gallon water changes every Monday.. Is my tank still just young?

    Saints fan.. Sounds good. I'll get at you tmrw and we'll do the paypal thang. I feel you there though dude. Work and schools got me running around 24/7. I actually work at a course here though haha. Txt me a few pics or somethin today if ya get the chance homie. I'm anxious to see what I'm getting haha. You know how it is.

    I'm pumped. Halla at me with those pics! By the way, what kind of bulbs are you working with in your tank? I just got my 4 bulb T5 fixture from ebay today. Its got 2 true actinics and 2 12k bulbs, both are odyssea brand.. It looks good, but I know the colors not as good as it COULD be, so I'm looking for some good bulbs to get.. Suggestions from anyone are welcomed..
