What media should I buy? Easy to get the media is from petco. Do they have anything good that you would suggest to use?
 
Yep, you can get a small media bag and put phosguard or GFO in it. That kind of media requires that water flow through it, so put in it not tightly packed. You should see your phosphates drop in a day or two,
 
I got my 4 bulb aquaticlife T5 fixture a few days ago and just got it installed. I now realize what a poor set of lights I had leading up to now. With the blues on greens are now gold I think it looks amazing!
 
Stock bulbs? Just wait till you replace them with ATI (or similar) bulbs. It'll be night and day again!
 
I would stick with those bulbs for 8 months to a year and then replace them with ATI bulbs. I have (2) blue plus and (2) aquablue specials. I also have the same fixture you do. Here's my before and after:
 
In those old pictures I didn't have any. Now I have these:

They are Humilis acro, montipora cap., candy apple birdsnest, green acro, and blue bushy acro.
 
Even though my SPS seem to be doing well, I'm not-so-secretly planning to upgrade the the Ecotech Radion LEDs.
 
Anyone know what this is? And is it bad? It is only out when the lights go off, I have at least two of them they look like a snail with no shell.

No shell other than what they have. Mine are 3/4" tops, but I don't know MAX size.
 
Just thought I would add some pictures to show my progress.
