At week 12 if water parameters are still solid I will start adding a fish a week until I get the fish in it I want. Doing this with no chemicals the Tangster (I call him OB1 for short) way. I am 4 weeks into the cycle and there has been NO algae what so ever. I like that! Should be able to add fish May 28th Talk about working on Patience...

Well I got the MH's wired in and had to turn them on for about 15 minutes to just stand back and gaze. My 55's PC lights looks like a 15 watt bulb now. That 15 minutes was worth the last 3 months of work.......

When I switched from the Old aqua busch German line of lamp and went to Ushio's I thought That I'd never change bulbs again until a realy good one came along that just totaly ot ran the USHIO's .. Now I say this about the SPS bulbs I don't like change ad it takes a lot to impress me I have this simple method I work by in that if its not broke don't fix it.. I have seen so much more growth with these bulbs and polyps out so far its unreal the corals look like old hippies LOL Just cleaner..
