    FILTER SOCK

    I change mine every 5-6 days. It's the ones with the 4" ring.10 weeks sounds a little long for any size sock.I'd change that one now and go two week the most.

    t5 lamps combo

    I'd go with 4-5 aqua suns and 3-4 super actinides(I'd swap these out for ATI blue plus) Everyone has there own taste when it comes to lighting so it's hard to say what you'd like.Check out Jersey Wendy's tank thread for more info on what she uses.She has a really nice tank and she uses t-5s.

    Timer Bummer

    Not sure what you have going on but I'd leave the pump going to the fuge on all the time. You want to keep water flowing through the fuge. I never turn off my skimmer though some people might.
