Bud! it's free shipping too! argh, what to do, what to do... my substrate came in the mail so I was hoping to set up the tank this weekend. but now i'm kinda, sorta, maybe thinking about returning/selling my coralife lights for these ones, maybe? hmmm

Hey Sydney, right off the bat, I didn't get a chance to read through all 48pgs of your thread, apologies. But I'm curious as to how you like the coralife lights you have? Are they normal or high output? Did your plants respond well? I'm trying to set up my 1st planted tank and I'm having a hard...

I really appreciate all the great advice. Everyone responded so quickly to my cries for help =) Thank you. Because of that, I got him into the hospital tank and started treatment. Once I got him in the smaller tank, I could get a good look at him from a bird's-eye view and his scales did look a...
