Unpacked it, set it up, plugged it in, and.....the T5's are great. As well are the LED's and the fan is moving some air. But one of the MH (250w) never came on and the other...

My 90g tank has about 300w's of T5 lighting. I have a 716w MH/T5 arriving today. I plan on hanging the fixture about 20" above the tank and every week dropping it about 5" until it's about 6-8" above the tank. What doyou guys suggest???

1. What schedule should I keep with regards to actinics coming on followed by MH and the opposite for night. I do have timers.
2. Do I need additional fans on this fixture? I heard the old style it was a good idea, but not this one. Any experience with this?
3. Also heard I will have to...
Was entertaining some LED fixtures...got nervous because I am not well versed in LED's whatsoever. So, I jumped on this for much lower than the price listed on aquatraders. Its brand new\, still in box, and still has 2 year warranty. The ballasts and fans have been upgraded from the older...

My skimmer goes nuts when I clean or add stuff. I added a few frags using reef epoxy (cant remember the brand) Anyway, my skimmer has been insane for the past 4/5 days. Cant get it to calm down. I just unplug it. I try it, goes nuts, I unplug it. Any ideas or directions on how to handle this.
If so, what combination do you guys suggest?
