See what your readings say for Ca, Alk and Mg. Maybe they're low?

Its funny you mention it, but I am actually upgrading to a Current USA dual satelite 12" fixture. 12 inch 2x18 Watt Current USA PowerCompact Dual Satellite Fixture I was torn between that and Evil's PAR38. I am just not convinced on the look of LED's yet. That 18" T5 unit is a bit long for my application. I am sick of the coralife mini, it has horrible color rendition. However, it will make a good sump light in the future

Scratch that idea, the Current USA dual satelites are discontinued. Looks like I might get a 12" coralife and convert the to the current usa lamps.
