    Im pretty set on 3 250w 14k's and then just a couple standard actinics for night. Unless someone has a better idea then Ill probably cave in pretty easy. LOL

    Actinics for night? Do you mean dawn/dusk? And do you mean actinic or blue?

    FYI actinic is a violet lamp whereas the blue that everyone calls actinic is simply a blue lamp... :)

    Started producing diatoms yesterday. Levels are all good.
    Got the new T5 lights installed on Friday for actinic and 10k as well as the led.
    Also added a 10 more pounds of live rock.
    Slow and steady is my approach on this build.
