I'm confused... I know the OP said he did mean .5, but isn't 5 nitrates not that bad. I know the goal is 0, especially in reef, but am I missing something???
Am I mixing up nitrates and nitrites or something??
I never heard of trates being measured w/ decimals. I'm lost.
OMG I just went and pulled out my card...and you are right...sorry

trates are not in decimals....all I can say is OOPS and SORRY

watts from pc lights arnt the same as watts from t-5 or mh. from the way i understand it lumms are more inportant than watts. it is over my head but the way i see it that 100 watts from t-5 or mh penitrate deeper and stronger than pc. there are really indepth articles about this if you use google.
i kept a gbt under 96w for 3 month when my tank was 2 month old and it is doing great. i now have 250mh and 96w t-5 and in 2 days i can tell a difference. maybe 3 months isnt that long but it did good. all so i have read about silversides being difficult for them to digest. i feed my frozen shrimp not sure if thats any better.

That is correct about lighting....Long term you will not have sucess with a nem under PC's.....It's likely moving to try and find more light. I would guess that it will continue moving around your tank to try and find better light, but it never will. Eventually it will die.
