I have fed it mysis each day for the last three days, it takes a while for it to take it but eventually it will take a little bit.
I have 3x250 mh's (10k usios) and 3x80 watt t5's blue plus. I run the t5's for 10 hours and the mh's for 5 hours each--overlapping so that all three are on for just two hours together
my perameters are: ph 7.95-8.05ish, temp 78-81; alk 13 dkh, nitrates 15ish, 0 nitrites, amonia, and phosphates; 420 calcium
