Thanks for all the great tips guys. I would've went about it a totally different way, but I'll heed your advice. I never thought about the lights aging and having a different light spectrum, so I'll have to order new ones since they are about 2 years old. I'll ditch the ceramic/bioball media, but is it okay to use activated carbon?
Can you guys recommend where to purchase new bulbs and the protein
skimmer? I usually use Petsolutions.com or Dr's Foster & Smith
