Nice Job Justin. Glad to see it has all come together!

Phoenix are DE, Radiums are SE, different bulb configuration.

+1, wait and pay for a quality product.

Ron, I would switch the 10k on the 250 bulb. If you are using a single end use a 250 20K radium bulb, but if you have a dual end fixture get the 250-watt Phoenix 14000K. They will increase the POP of your corals but will have slower growth than the 10K. See if you like that look if not change the PC either to 10k to lighten or Antinics for more blue. David

With your color combo it will be washed out. I would go with one ATI Pro Color , 3 blue plus, one 1200K ATI Aquablue, and one True Actinic 03 T5. You can find many more examples and advise at reefcentral in the lighting forum. David

Do many some water changes spread out for a couple of days, til the nitrates are to zero. And feed your fish only what they can completely eat in five mins. David

NICE!

remeasure your Mg++ and recalibrate your PH probe. Alk, CA, Mg & pH are all related. David

I have a Reef Keeper 2 and a Neptune Jr. both are good and are easy to program (temp, ph, timers) . If you want to measure ORP then those are over 300 for just the box alone. David

Look up www.glass-holes.com that should do the trick. David
