I thought I did have that information in there....I'll have to figure out how to do it. I am using RO water. My tank's a 45 gallon tall. I have an Odyssea 36" black dual compact flourescent fixture - 192 watts, and also actinic and moonlights. I think I have plenty of movement - a maxijet 1200 and also a fluval 305 canister. I cycled the tank with about 60#'s of live rock and 20#'s of livesand - also added the green chromies.

Do you think I should be cutting way back on the lights, or is there a combination that I should be using them in? I started just turning the actinic on for about an hour in the a.m. and an hour at night, and also cut the daylights back to about 10 hours a day 3 days ago. Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates are all 0.
