I would still have the T5's. I love the color it gives off. I usually add about a full cup of water or 2 per day. My tank usually stays at about 88. I got the t5 because I live in florida and it gets hot in my house some time, so i didnt want a light that gives off lots of heat.

Hey, i'm curious about your filter rack... I see it's made of acrylic and egg crate... how do you get filter media in the middle rack?
I've currently got a 30gal connected to my 29 biocube and have been tinkering with the filter area. I put my overflow tube from the rectangle tank into the far left chamber with a nano black sponge cut to fit my tube so it stays in better... this flows the water out half into the biocube and half into the middle chamber. I filled the middle chamber with live rock and then pulled the pieces off that flow part in the right hand chamber so the water from the biocube would flow down into that chamber and then put my return pump down in that chamber with a carbon pouch sitting on top of it. I'm REALLY liking your filter rack... thinking of building one to sit on top of my return pump... that would keep the media up off the pump.

Amazing tank. I love the shape of that reef/rock you have makes it very natural looking. 14 hermits and 20 snails! Wow. That's like an army.
I wish there was some engineer/manager snail that could control my 2 mexican snails. They are not doing good quality work missing many spots on the glass..

I'm thinking of upgrading my lighting to MH.
Was thing a 250 Watt MH!
Hope to get it some time!
This is what I was thinking here. If I can find a 250 Watt Sunpod used for a good deal. I may go with that. But if not I was thinking this.
