i will for sure, my nitrates were around 40 when i checked them last and last water change and i doubt their any lower now so there def high. i need to figure out how im gonna get lighting in there for both sides its all a nice tight fit, but now that its built ill arrange my skimmer and reactor around abit for some more room, the home depot i was today had diddly for lighting lol
