Just FYI…. I recently added a second power-head to add some flow. (25x turnover now). I run my T5’s for 10 hours a day, and the 150w MH only runs for 4 hours a day (only softies right now). All bulbs are only 4 months old. My parameters: Nitrates, Nitrites and Ammonia are all 0. Phosphates are .1 PH 8.1 Alk 2.9 Temp 82 going up close to 84 when MH’s are lit Calcium 330 5 small fish in a 53 gallon tank. (2 small Perculas, 1 Purple Firefish, 1 Pygmy Possum Wrasse and 1 Tailspot Blenny) Thanks! Pam
