Only if it's full of beer!

Oh, not petco... lol The person testing your water might not even know what they're doing. Don't you have an lfs near you?

^ depends how you scape your tank. I have seen a few that were setup to be spotlighted and it looked awesome.

Looks healthy and then clam is sweet.

Or maybe, "I took a dump in one."

Cat urine is must be amazing for this!

We are running radium 15k mh. I was going off of Rob's bulb recommendation above. If the color is too white, I guess I can always pick up another blue plus and switch it out.

I thought the aqua blue was a white and the blue plus was the blue.

Two ATI aquablues, a blue plus, and a purple plus.

Ok, we just picked them up from marine scene (including the purple plus). The next question is: What order should I install them from front to back?

We are planning on buying them locally. We just need to fiure out which purple first. I called fins n feathers, but they didn't have them in stock. Marinescene has them, so I will probably swing by later today.

Would these be appropriate ATI choices?

I'm on this as soon as I get home.

Sounds like we're sold on the ATI bulbs. Thanks for the input!

I would throw the rock away. Or give it to My mother in law.

In that case, you may want to consider sticking with reef safe fish until you know for sure.

Are you planning any corals, or fish only?

That looks nice, except for the plethora of ugly powerheads (no offense).

A great way to find out about fish is just to read what folks on here have. I have gotten a few that way that I might have not considered otherwise.

A little bit of crack, I think.

Next time you make this stuff I'm going to buy a 5 gallon bucket full.

I just fed them again with the same results. The tank was in a feeding frenzy- fish darting everywhere, swimming backwards, upside down, whatever it took to get a piece of this stuff! They almost looked disappointed when they realized they had chased down the last microparticle and there was nothing left.

peace out

I use a 6500k flourescent twist bulb I got at lowes with a clip on reflector. Works great and it was cheap.
