    It's in the actual tank as well. It's really weird :confused:
    This are not the MH, just regular PC lights that came with the tank.

    That is just bizarre. lol...I've never heard of that happening like this.

    Usually, PC bulbs change color slightly over time (turning dimmer, and more yellow), but not nearly as quickly (or drastically) as you see with yours.

    Might want to think about putting a backgroud on the back side...paint it? or some store bought static stuff...if you wont be cleaning it, at least it will hide the build up until your critters get after it. : )

    Lights will probably get here tomorrow, and skimmer should be here sometime next week as well;)

    My metal Halides finally arrived! I am in love :') The shimmer effect is beyond awesome.

    In addition, I checked my parameters and now I have 1.0 ppm ammonia, so this should be the spike Ive been looking for. I can't wait till I can start adding things!

    Here are some pics!
