That light is awesome eh! I love the look of T-5s Let us know how the Balling method works out.
Yah the mixing increases your parameters by a slight amount (did it for the old bucket; took out the whole bucket and gave a good old-school style mix and that brought up the parameters by few 10s). If your lot is 06101316, you might wanna check your bucket too :P

Yah this fixture is just blew me away. Everyday, I am growing my taste on German products. Although they really lack the appeal when it comes to packing an expensive equipment but they make up for it. Can't wait for the GHL supplement LED

The antibiotic can mess up the bacterial strains of zeovit. That's what I read in zeovit forum.

Still looking good. Sorry to hear about the losses. What bulb combo will you end up with? I got my ati fixture before Xmas, and am still playing with bulb combos.

I know you told me the last time I was over, but are they ati or kz bulbs or both? I don't remember. I should start taking notes every time I'm there.

I used ATI but moved to KZ. More readily available at Concept and a bit more PAR.
