I do a 10% WC every week since I don't run a skimmer. I really like the NSW and the corals open up every night to feed. I have tried synthetic salt and went back to NSW lol why mess up a good thing?

Thanks...those are NG's they look crazy because of the actinic bulb...bright neon green...all the corals look better with the T5's than they did with the 14k Pheonix IMO

You are right! the brains were in the sump of my 125 as I have a bi color angel that started to nip and they weren't puffing up...I was gonna sell em' and then Bam! upgrade
