Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
If your gonna get the booster pump, go all out and get evefy part you need to fully automate the system. Its just easier to get it all up front and not piecemeal it over time

I've been toying with mine too. I have 2 blue+ bulbs going from 10-10, then I had the other 2 bulbs, blue+/coral+ going 12-16. All looked good coral wise,, but I wanted to increase the time I had all 4 going. So I started bumping up...

I ran one of these a while back when I had my 180 going. When I first set it up l loved it, over time though I found that the stated =/- 1/4" fluctuation became upwards of 1". In my system It did not effect salinity to much so I kept it going. But I would keep an eye on it for sure.
Every time...
I've used that before as a 24". Packs a punch so be careful @Mark_C
Start with 2 bulbs and work the other 2 bulbs in a little at a time. Add about 30-60min per week
