Did you get the mitras with Hyper violet ? I really wished you had these now and can test for us. They are one special again at the moment saving ~300 per light and I would need two.

Yes, got the HV versions. I saw some running over a friends tank last week and they are quite impressive.
Color balance looks very nice. His had them running for 2 weeks now and everything is going well.
Im hoping them mixed with my T5's should give me nice colour and growth.

Nice set up , i noticed your Supermarin 250 in your sump photo's , The red intake nozel doesn't look aligned , turn it fully clockwise , then turn it anticlockwise a full revolution so that the two black dots are aligned together , This is what i was told when i first set mine up , Don't know what it means , however mine pulls craploads of skimmate , And i have mine sitting in 23 cms of water :)

cheers DAY1.

I had it all the way turned in initially while the skimmer was breaking in otherwise it would flood.

I now have the 2 dots aligned and skimming is awesome.

No worries , all good , Just make sure you keep the Air Intake filter clean , if not this will reduce the fine bubbles and performance , You will be happy with it , It allows you to feed heavy :worship
