Picked up my 14K HQI bulb and 150LBS of High Calcium Limestone Baserock. Wondering if I should run actinic - so picked up a ballast and a 96W actinic power compact. Ready to do a final cleaning of the tanks, and wash of rocks. Also picked up 120 Lbs of crushed coral and sand. I think after I get everything arranged it is going to take a couple days to fill this system with RO-DI water. Then making sure all the temp readings come out and refractometer is reading the correct gravity - I'll start the system from my main sump. I have another 300 W heater so it will be a challenge to heat each tank to 78 degrees before I kick the system on. I wonder if that HQI is going to be enough light. It looks like it will, but I will judge that after I start the system. I was originally going mostly fis for this application, some triggers, perhaps an Amperor Angel in the first 90 waterfall cube. Any tips from anyone before I start would be helpful - and thank you.
