Heres my story of this place.. i walk in one day to check out the fish and corals (this is back when they were in fort lee same people though) so i go and see a pair of percs for sale at a reasonable price. I go up to the counter tell him that i would like to purchase a pair. The gentlemen acts...
mh are good for about almost a year depending on brand.. certain brands are more dependable then others.. 12k are good bulbs not to blue and not to white and good growth.. but growth also depends on how well you keep your tank..
I had the same problem.. went to the lfs and they told me crushed coral is great with buffer addiive and all that.. that I had to wash it out first to remove all the white film blah blah blah.. tank remained cloudy like crazy ... emptied out the crush coral and went bare bottom.. crush coral...
