what size tank is that? By 2 t5's do you mean 2 tubes or two fixtures? 2 tubes isnt enough for a nem. you should concider upgrading your lighting to either halides or at least a larger bank of t5's.

Also watch he doesnt get too close to the powerheads or you'll have little pieces of nem all over your tank.


Just my 2 cents.

our tank is 90gal (23"deep X 18"wide X 48"long with overflow on the back of the tank and we're running a sump 22"long x 12"wide x 18"deep which we keep half full for water exchange)
oh and our powerhead has one of those nifty foam padding filterthingys on it so im not worried about that.
our lights are 2 Fixtures both HO and as for salinity as of last water change its sitting at about 1.026(which i used to think was a bit high considering the silly directions on the salt buckets suggets a salinity of 1.020-1.026 at 77F)
