    The brown is diatoms. As you had mentioned it should go away. I wouldn't add any corals at this stage of the game. Do you know if your cycle has ended at this point? what are your parameters?

    250w bulb opinions

    Thanks for the pics, and scs, thanks for the suggestion. There are decisions out there to make. I guess I'm asking people if I should buy a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford. Everyone has their opinions.

    12 k bulbs

    I'm running 14 k single ended metal halide bulbs right now and I'm looking at the reeflux 12k bulbs. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of 12 k bulbs or any good or bad experiences they could share.
