Hahaha, no worries man. It just figures that the really nice ones would go and do something like that.

Everything is looking awesome man.

Funny how that works, thanks for the compliment buddy!

I would pull it right back, almost sounds like your burning them. I have 4 24W T5's about 2 feet away from the tips of them, they get a whack load of ambient light though (From the sun and my other T5 fixtures). My brother has a 250W halide + Actinics over his 100 but it's almost 4 feet away from them and he gets some wicked growth.

Oh and Mike spraying them down daily with fresh RO water really seems to help them out.

The solution: Install another another tank.

Standard dining room tables are overrated. However, dining room tables with a centrepiece of mangroves and a plant grow light instead of a chandelier is, on the other hand, completely underrated and understated.

Thanks Doug! I'm thinking of buying a new camera (Something like Kiens) if I can save up enough cash, then I can really put out some top quality photos.
