got my Canopy today running 3x250 and 2 80 watt t5 the MH are 14k set
the lights a 14" away from the tank to start and only going to run
them a couple hours for a few days then add a half hour till i get to 8
hours wow the lights seem bright. any thoughts about them as wel as
should I run the T5 and the MH together or seperate. have rto come up
with a better setup for the staralizer not even sure if I will keep it
I also plan to add another Seio pump on the other side which should
give me at least 4000 gph in my tank.#ed_op#/span#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl#
