    I have a 10 bulb powermodule and I love it. I have found that I actually like it with no white bulbs. I have had great growth with all of my sps. The whites in it just seem to wash out alot of the blue. I am running a 10k ice cap bulb and a couple of aqua blue specials to give it the white look. As far as heat goes the fixture still puts off a decent amount of heat. The fans help but it still heats up the tank. I have also found that I have to hang the fixture about 9" above the water to get the par values I like. I do t know how deep your tank is but mine is 20" and at the top of my rocks I get about 600 par. The top of my rocks are about 7-8" under the water surface. Just something to keep in mind.

    I see four dark blues, two light blues, one white and one purple. You're color blind.

    That being said, it's a beautiful fixture and I'm thinking you'll love the look. Thanks for plugging it in for us to see how it looks. Only one white bulb, eh?

    I don't have to like it over YOUR tank. I just don't like it over mine.

    I have about 300 gallons of water in my system with a 200 gallon display. I am using 2 liters. The pellets seem to be recommended at .5 to 1 liter per 100 gallons depending on bioload.

    Thats not true! I dont really see the Nitrate because I dont test it that often but I do see P04 rise now and then. My P04 went very high when I stopped Zeovit but now that Im running GFO its better again.

    Does Jessy know this is not the black carbon (water purification), but a vodka (carbon dosing) substitute ?

    I love carbon. It makes your water soooo clear and nice. Why did you ever NOT do it?

    Keep us up to date on your progress.. I was looking at this myself : http://www.saltysupply.com/NP-Biopel...l-p/xb1115.htm

    I currently run a Sulfur denitrater I want to convert to a calcium reactor. I also run a small amount of Zeovit in a reactor..my no3 is less than .05 and not sure of my phospates, Just got a new test kit and have not tested yet.
