    I would go with the 2 10k in the PC. that will compliment the XM 15k very nicely. How deep is your tank?

    Personally, I like an XM 10k with a actinic to supplement. FWIW, the 15k WM has a very weak PAR output, even less than the 20k. The 10k is a literal PAR monster. Phoenix 14k's may be more to your liking though.

    If you are looking for less blue.... maybe get rid of the PC's and get a couple of 54w T-5's. I would use the ATI Aquablue Special bulbs. They are around 12000K, but aren't very blue. You will get lots of Par with these guys as well. If you must keep the PC's.. then go with a 50/50 bulb to cut the blue light in half!

    Oh yea, I'll troll craigslist, ebay, local reefclub forums for stuff. I've really reigned it in thou, and used that energy to focus on taking care of what I got.. since I sorta let it go for awhile.

    Yeah, you can find some gems on craigslist. Just don't try to trade for them in the "casual encounters" section!

    Speaking as someone that has in the past hidden a tank in a closet to keep my wife from finding it, and spends hours checking my controllers via iphone, I have NO idea what you are talking about.

    My wife asked me what I was on when I was overly happy for a few days in a row. I told her I was "normal". On the 3rd day I realized my problem. When I got home I asked her to sit down and I would tell her what had been different. She almost smacked me when I told her that I was "all hopped up on clownfish!" (P.S. I am getting a new spawning onyx pair and a pair of Bangii's early in Feb)

    We did admit to being "reef addicts" when we signed up for this sight. ALL OF US. It does get a little bit better in time but never really goes away. When you have a 75x turnover, cant fit any more lights over the tank, cant get a bigger tank because your spouse wont let you, cant fit anymore coral into the tank, cant automate anymore equiment, you get to a point that you dont look for things to do everyday.

    I've recently added a second skimmer to my tank "just to see"........ Ya, It never goes away
