    Sounds like you're putting in an IV to me! ;D

    I hope your parameters get better. Sounds like things are heading the right direction.

    I have always had nitrates and phosphates. I had hoped that the addition of a fuge would take care of the problem, but about 45 days have passed and the change is not significant. More macros!!!!

    It's one of those 23W energy saver bulbs (6500K) from Home Depot. That does bring up a question. Is it enough?

    im using the 13W energy saver 6500k and my fuge is growing rampant, given it's not growing as fast as a buddy of mine who has a single 24w T5 over his with a 6700k but it's still growing

    wow, that coral looks amazing. What is it called and did you get it from a lfs or online. It kind of looks like a neon yellow birds nest covered in hundreds of feather dusters. lol
