good news too, most of them have been touching already with no stinging! so I thinki lucked out and everything should be able to to grow in to each other

What do you use for water movement and what led fixture are you using? I am looking at a 54 corner aand am curious what you are using as a sump?

i am using an MP10, provides great, then I have the pump from the HOb skimmer, and a fluval 304 just to run chemipure elite.

I'm using a custom LED with white and blue creed 3 watts leds, 24 , plus 2 t5 suplimentals using atinic plus pulbs.
