    so i just got a few more things to get this 30 going! have my lighting set up (250 watt MH) im going to be building a hood for that and the actinic t5 lighting i will be putting in from the old tank, if anyone has plans for a canopy that would be wonderful. i also got my overflow box and will be building the plumbing for the sump this weekend. just ordered 2 K2 powerheads, never had korila powerheads so im very ....VERY excited after hearing all the great reviews about them.
    i also finished putting all my rock base and live in the new tank just waiting on parameters to be right before i start putting in my corals and fish. hopefully ill have my build log up once i get my canopy built and my t5s hooked up. oh and by the way...what would you guys say is the better t5 bulbs to use?

    Coming along, get.grounded! Isn't it nice gathering stuff? :)

    In my TX5 fixture I had Geisemanns. They were outstanding. Maybe some others will chime in on their preference in T5 bulbs.

    yea its great, a lot of money but looking for deals on fish supplies is a great time lol. im going to look into those bulbs for the actinics in my t5, but now im thinking of only using the t5 actinics for dawn/dusk time frame and than having moon lights kick in after that. im going to be using a 20k 250 watt MH for the daylight, so i guess ill experiment with that.
