    i did a 3 gallon water change. I haven't checked it since i did the w.c. a few days ago, i think i'll check it tomorrow, to see if it's staying where it needs to be, so last i checked it was 1.025

    so here is my official bulb combination, after i emailed them about doing 2 blue and 2 actinic, this is what they suggest i do, so i went ahead and said ok, so here it is: 2-ATI Blue Plus, 1-ATI 12000K Aquablue and 1-UV Lighting Actinic White

    haha lol i really have no idea what all of the bulb combintations mean, but all i do know now is the difference between blue and actinic, but nothing about the wattages or anything else.

    lol so if you guys like it, i guess that's a good thing :D

    my choice for bulbs on a 4 bulb t5 fixture would be pure actinic, actinic plus, aquablue plus and kz fiji purple. That is a gorgeous color scheme and corals grow well also.

    Thanks for the input. But I already ordered the others. It also looks like they shipped it since that's what it looks like on my credit card so it should be here in a few days :D

    I can't wait :D I'll be so happy to get rid if the light I have. But it's never on anyways so really no big deal, but it will just be nice to have a real light :D
