Love the hammer. Nice tank.

 

[resplendantreef]

Thank's guys.

Which bulbs are you running in your hood?

I currently am running 4x 02 actinics and a 175w 20k Ushio MH. I am about to place an order for new bulbs because my T5's are well past needing changed. I am going to order the 460NM Actinic Royal Blue T5's this time to try them out. I also am going to go with a 10k MH this time around. After having used both, I like the 10k better than the 20k and I think I get better growth with it.

This is my lighting.

Very nicely done! That hammer is beautiful!

 

[resplendantreef]

Thanks. The hammer was the size of a quarter when I purchased it. I have had it for about two years now it has grown to the size of a softball, maybe a little bigger.
