Can I ask the deets about your lighting? It might have been said earlier, but I'm trying to be sneaky and posting at work...

Sure thing Asylum,

I run three lumen max elite shades, with Geisemann 20k bulbs, powered by the green Galaxy ballasts. I run one select a watt ballast and another dual 250w for the lamps on the outside.

I also have moonglow lighting hooked up to my digital aquatics controller.

Happy with those bulbs? It looks like Radiums might be no longer available in N. America..

I am extremely happy with these bulbs, I used to use the 14500k bulbs, but the 20's are perfect, not too much blue, but just enough so that you don't need to suppliment with actinic or blue+

I would suggest these bulbs to anyone who likes color and doesn't want to sacrifice growth (So pretty much anyone who wants SPS)
