    WHAT? You want mt wife to divorce me or something? ;) thats_crazy

    BTW, my LFS suggested i run the lights for only 4 hours for the first couple weeks, he said that it is very probable that I'll get an algae bloom if i don't. What do you think? and BTW yesterday i added a small patch of green star polyps and a feather duster :thumbsup1:

    Bad news on the Helios! My ballast just crapped out, only one of the switches will work! The other I have to switch on /off really fast for it to work and it will only once in a while :'(

    Now we'll see how good Hello lights customer service is! ???
