Wizard I love your tank and I love your posts, but honestly you are KILLING me with envy! OH stop it already! LOL. I truly enjoy seeing your tank and I hope one day mine can be half as nice. I posted pics of my progress in new hobbyist, take a look and give some advice if you have any. Thanks. And keep brightening my day with your pics.

Thanks for the kind words....i have looked at a couple of your threads and I can say this...you are developing a very nice system of your own....you really don't need much help from me...from what I've seen you are well on your way.

Nice. I sorta wish I had a seperate ballast for my actinics.

It does make for some very interesting viewing.....sort of simulates a sunrise/sunset effect and the coloration from start to finish is breath taking...in my opinion.

For the dawn/dusk effect, the actinic lights turn on before the 10,000k and turn off after the 10,000k. For example, here's my schedule:
10:00am Actinics on
11:00am 10,000k on
12:00pm Halides on
8:00pm Halides off
9:00pm 10,000k off
10:00pm Actinics off
