Um, monitor is fine, didn't spent this much money on it to be not fine
and Naesco/powder blue I am always getting mixed up so either way they should be blue, and yes I did get my glasses and have another look

and where did powder brown come from?

you know, I just reread this thread and I didn't see a statement at all implying MH are the only way to go, I see a lot of in the long run you'll save money by going MH, and a lot of personally I like MH the best out of all my set ups, but yes we all know you don't need MH, if the tank is shallow you can get away with NO lighting and if you use the vodka and chemical method you can probably have a beautiful tank, but as most of us 99% are not into fussing 3 times a day or daily or some even weekly and are not willing to shell out the big bucks for these new systems on the market, in all reality can you say anything bad about going with MH aside from you might need to find a way to cool it down if your set up is designed wrong?

It doesn't matter weather it is PC or T5HO (which we can't seem to get in Canada anyways, or if we can not that easy) with the chemical regiment he is doing, he would probably get the same result. Besides a PC is a T4Ho anyways which has an intensity higher than a T5, but its down fall is its folded design which ends up making ~33% of the light unavailable.

I saw the sps but I missed the 2 years, to much reading, well actually tired of sifting through the RC crap to find some useful info. I remembered why I don't go there any more now, thanks.
