    Thanks a bunch. I ended up with an ATI T5 8 tube sunpower. Thinking about adding an LED UV strip for more glow. hehe Doesn't really need it but I think it would be fun. I'm still dream'n about some nice LEDs. ;D

    Thanks Rob&Gab!

    Thanks. I'm not sure how many different morphs there are of this thing. I got it from Copps and it seems brighter orange than some others I've seen. Could be the lights though.

    Looking very nice!

    PS I am digging the electronics cabinet. You should add a switch and light so that when you open the cabinet it lights up. :)

    I have a little filamentous algae and dinos that I'm working on.
    It's a mystery. I have zero nitrate and PO4 is usually 0-.03. Big skimmer, Small refugium, GFO and I was using full Prodibio system. I started a biopellet reactor with very small amount of pellets and dosed Prodibio digest about two weeks ago. Not sure if the biopellets are working for me. Dinos seem to do well in ULNS so I've been unplugging the skimmer lately to try to get some nitrate up to 1-2ppm. I have a recirculating biopellet reactor so I adjusted it to where the effluent just barely drips.
    It takes weeks to see results so just waiting to see what happens but so far things do seem to look a little better.
    As far as green algae goes though .. yeah all of above keeps that in check.
