    Well had some lighting problems with some old magnetic ballast but Tangster fixed me up with some nice e-ballast. Got those in and bleached a few coral so I got my light cycle down to 3 hrs and increasing every couple weeks at the moment.

    Seems like there is always something. :-/

    If it was easy, it wouldn't be any fun.

    Scott I know you won't take this the wrong way; but when things go South for guys like you, it makes guys like me feel better about myself. This is the never ending hobby.

    I can fully appreciate Guru's sig. line "The easiest day was yesterday."

    Sorry to hear you're having issues, bud. I'm sure you'll get 'em all sorted out. :angry:

    I had the same problem when I replaced my stock ballasts with the IceCaps. My solution was to get 20K bulbs instead of 14K. Within a month all my corals that where turning white came back to normal.

    Not cool.......................not cool at all. This behavior is unacceptable. Otty is lucky that I am not a MOD, there would be hell to pay for this kind of behavior.:hehe:

    Where did you get the gray manifold?
    I can't seem to find exactly what I want. So I ordered one of these:

    I only wanted 3 outlets but they don't make them.. (can't find them anyway).

    You got a heck of a lot more then I did.

    That gray manifold is a Ocean Motion 4-way.
    FlexPVC.com is where I picked up the other manifolds I use.
