    did some testing today, nitrite 0, ammonia .25. GHA is starting to get bad on the rocks, i cleaned the glass earlier today since the gha and other 2 algaes were starting to get pretty bad. I'll probably get a blue tuxedo sea urchin either this weekend or next :)

    not really sure about acclimating the light. but i have one of the whites and one of the blues on the same switch so i leave those on for an hour before i turn the other two on. But i plan making it so the blues are on the same switch and the whites are on the same switch. And then an hour before the lights go off i'll turn it back to two lights being on. And the fixtutre is three inches above the the tank.
