Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Careful with the chemi pure blue, that stuff is made for when you have high phosphates and you need to drop them quickly. I have not read up on it in a while but I don't think it is something you wan to run constantly. We use the chemi pure elite which is the "everyday" stuff and love it.

I can't link to reef central right now because it is blocked at work. If you search there or use Google you should be able to find it.

Do you have a link or a pic? Interested to see it.
Thank you guys, the tank is coming along really well, I had to recharge the camera battery last night but I should be able to get some good DSLR pics up in the next few days.
Sunday funday in tank land. We were busy last weekend so a bunch of stuff got pushed to today which was not big deal, it was just tank time. We siphoned the frag tank and our refugium out, cleaned the skimmer and some reactors, and took care of some frags in the frag tank. We had a group of...
I agree with Paul, those aren't really T5 bulbs, they are T12 bulbs which are shorter. There are not a lot of bulb options out there for them, and they are not really wide spread in the hobby. Also, 2 of them aren't really going to be suitable for much, were the kessil you already have a light...
