Current to do list: - electronics setup (arduino reef control) - 20L tank (waiting for petco sale) - plumbing starting soon ;) - aqualifter to keep siphon going - lights (mentioned above) - Sand (already have live sand to seed. buying dry sand.) - finish diy live rock (still working on the right...

Here is a quick sketch of the setup i am planning

Im back with another project. I am currently in the planning of a 20gallon long display tank with two ten gallon tanks attached to it in a cycle. A 10g frag tank and a 10g sump. This is going to be a budget build but a great one. :D I am currently working on the live rock (&frag plugs), i am...

yes its only when i turn the lights on but it does not go away until they are back off .. that is the problem ... ? i recently also tried to change my 50/50 to the standard incandecent bulbs but that did not help either .. ?
