Thanks all

Ed, T5's are illuminating my 2ft. When it's time to replace my nano's PL's, I might just change to T5's.

Metal, tank is a 10g or 38L. I have a 4g refugium hooked up to it.

Thanks Golden Tooth, DeepBlue. Setup excluding live stock will probably set you back about $600+-.

[DeepBlue]

I perform water changes every two to three weeks. I dose daily.
