    yeah, for now that towel keeps the glare from the halides out of your face, like it was on the 90g. I will be upgrading reflectors soon, ones that actually reflect the light INTO the tank LOL

    I think IO owes me about 5 grand in royalties now. I don't even use their salt. ;D

    You got that kind of growth on your Euphylia from just 4 months? Wow, that's pretty good!

    250w Phoenix 14Ks on a Galaxy dual with 2 X 96w PC bulbs that I just replaced. They were basically burned out, so they have even more now.

    12 hours on the Actinics, 7 on the MHs, and 6 hours of total darkness a night.

    I run my lighting for 10 hours/day, I was thinking about bumping it up to 12.
