I thought you were gonna be running more than that. just go ahead and add the 200ml one more time.

Its 1000mL per 200 gallons. 110 plus sump is around 125 or so. So I figured around 600mL would be about right.

Exciting day in the life of my reef. FIRST FISH!!! A tiny Yellow Watchman Goby. And yesterday one of the MH bulbs burnt out and so I got a new one from AC and it was labeled a 14K and it's much whiter than the other bulb I have which was sold to me as a 14K as well. Will it blue up as it breaks in?

 

[ToXIc]

Are they the same brand bulb?

I don't believe so. I may just buy another one from AC (the whiter one) and change out the T5's to actinics instead of the Blue+ that I have now. The few SPS that are in there seem to have better polyp extension than they did before.

Although the bulbs may have the same k rating they still differ by brand.

Remember to acclimate the corals to the new bulb.

Thought that might be the case. Whats the best way to acclimate? Just slowly up the photo period?
