    If you're going to run pellets, you should probably not run UV or Ozone... Go read the comments on the NP site about it. Essentially, you could cause a cyclic 'cycle' of your tank. Although, if you're going to have a big beefy skimmer, with a sure fire way of getting your reactor return into your skimmer, you should be fine ;)

    A lot of people would argue otherwise, but I don't have them yet, so I can't say for sure... We'll see when they arrive ;)

    How long have I had that stag? It's doubled in size for sure. MH is good, I'm just glad my t5 is gone.

    I don't mind T5 so much... but LED was just cheaper in the long run... oddly. Using a good fixture and 3, or 4 250W MH's will be around 1200 in electricity alone over 3 years... excluding any $$$ that you'd need to keep the tank cool, and the bulbs... never mind the fixture itself...

    No one wants to see how your "other member" is performing.
