    My lighting plan: Get lights set up by next weekend. Let actinics run about 16 hours a day for several weeks. Then slowly phase in 2 250W Metal Halides, probably starting with a couple hours a day, then adding an hour of light every day or so. I think slow will be the key, I will play with it.
    Remember, my tank is only a little over 10 weeks old, and I have yet to turn a light on. Livestock includes 2 clowns, 1 hitchhiker snail & 1 turbo snail. Hopefully a slow phase in and no added livestock till the lights are running full bore will help everything out.
