do you dose calcium? are your mh too strong for the softies? i am also setting up a very large softie tank and debating on upgrading my lights or leaving them
I had a ca reactor on it, but between constant issues with the CO2 (leaks), and the softies lower demand, I removed the reactor, and just dose with Randy's two part formula now. Ca demand is definately lower with softies.

As for the MH, I started with 400 watters (thinking I needed them for the depth) and the softies HATED them. Swapped them out for 250 watters, and everything is much happier. They are supplemented with 2 Icecap 660's, one driving 4 x 4' bulbs, the other driving 4 x 3' bulbs (840 watts total, mainly actinics).
