You would be surprised what straight bleach will do. I had to take a couple breaks yesterday because my eyes were burning and head was spinning...almost like sniffing Rush....
Now I am going to get at the plumbing and get the OF box set in, work is never done....

What will be the best bulb to get 10,000K. 20,000K or something in between for the 400w MH's? I keep reading that with 14,000K to 20,000K I won't need actinics as bad as if I used 10,000K. Is that a bunch of horsesh*t!

I like the 14k bulbs. They have a nice crisp blue look to them. The 20k's are really blue, almost like the actinics are on all the time, and a 10k is a really bright white. You will probably want to suppliment the 10k with actinics to add some blue, or your tank will look to yellow.
